OMG, that is awesome hand quilting!!! This requires patience that I don't have, unfortunately. You do beautiful work.

My first passion is to hand stitch also.

You have done beautiful work.

Have you ever checked out Inklingo? Wonderful site for hand stitchers/piecers.

There are free patterns on that site and you will spend hours there absorbing all Linda Franz has to tell about hand quilting.
There is also a very helpful Yahoo group all about Inklingo, and also several very good blogs to read.

www.inklingo.com or www.lindafranz.com

Right now I am working on the "free" 4.5 inch LeMoyne Star. Next on to the "Double Wedding Ring".

Good luck on your recovery.

What a great way to spend your time....your handwork is beautiful!!! :D:D:D
Get well soon!!!
