Hand Quilted Items
 
4 Attachment(s)
I have been quilting about a year now. Have had a lady with a long arm doing my quilting. She told me I should hand quilt some, sure HA HA!!! Well I tried it , and believe it or not I loved it. I also did one as a tie quilt, I did enjoy it, [ even though it was a little hard on the fingers].. I have never sent pictures before, but I am going to try....

Great job on all, but I like the green one best. Keep up the good work. I like to do hand quilting also, yet it is hard on the fingers and hands.

Very pretty! I admire you hand quilters!

You have a wonderful color sense. These are lovely. As a dedicated hand quilter, I have to tell you that if you love it to start, you will love it forever. And it will get easier, and you will get better, and you will be amazed at what you can do. Your fingers won't hurt either! I'm always happy to see others joining the ranks of the hand quilters. People always say to me - no one does that anymore. But we do!!!! Keep up the beautiful work and make sure to share them with us.

You have done a very nice job. Your table toppers and quilts are very pretty.
I don't mind hand quilting at all, it's just that it takes longer.I have hand quilted a couple of things, a doll quilt and a patriotic quilt. I have only machine quilted some wall hangings but they weren't that hard.

My sentiments exactly. There's just something special about handquilting...once you get started it really wins you over.

Lovely! I have one small wall hanging hand quilted and a start of a cathedral window. How I wish my fingers would cooperate!

Grandma Peg 07-04-2012 07:28 PM

Those are very pretty. Sometimes we need to do things outside our comfort zone. Well done.

JOMARIE 07-04-2012 09:20 PM

Very nice. Is there a pattern for the first one?

alfosa421 07-05-2012 02:22 AM

great work! hand quilting is very soothing at time and very aggravating at others.

the old one 07-05-2012 04:42 AM

Hand quilting is my joy, even the very large quilts needed for king size beds (our family is very tall, and need long beds)--I hope you will continue to use that skill, it makes the piece totally yours.

Gayle's Quilts 07-05-2012 04:09 PM

I toke a class on quilt as you go, just sewed strips together & we started in the middle and then did 1 on each side & ends, & just kept on going. You can make it as big 0r little as you like. This is for the first table runner .

Thank You. Am working on another tie quilt, and getting ready to start on another hand quilt. Will post them when done.

terri bb 07-05-2012 05:29 PM

i love your treasures! the colors are some of my favorite. i have tried hand sewing as well this year and quilting it by hand as well and i find i love it! working on a second project now, and i have a third lined up. its very relaxing. did hand tie one with pastor's wife and a gaggle of girls; hand tying is NOT my thing and i will not be doing another if i can help it! :) lovely things, and welcome to the greatest joy on earth!
