just a small thing trying to get my stitches regular. Starting to get the hang of it and I like to hand quilt. I know some on her do great work. If I could only get half as good I would be happy. I guess it comes with a lot of time and practice. Thanks for looking. sorry the last picture came out fuzzy it was the back.

By Gosh, I think you got it! Seriously, you did great! I only hope to get that good!

Looks great! And you were even brave enough to use a contrasting thread. You're a natural.

I figured a colored thread would show the stitches better and help me try to keep them about the same size. I hope to continue to improve. I really like the handquilting.

And this is your first "attempt" at hand quilting? Looks like a pro to me...

clem55 02-15-2011 12:56 PM

That looks really good to me!

jljack 02-15-2011 12:58 PM

Nice work..your stitches look pretty even to me. But then again, I don't hand quilt, so my judgement is not very valuable!! LOL

That looks very nice to me!! Congratulations!!

Looks like you've more than got the hang of it...it looks beautiful. You don't want to see my hand stitches...hahaha.

boohoofish 02-15-2011 03:04 PM

Your hand quilting is great. Much better than when I started and I feel I am just up to you now after 3 yrs.

cctx. 02-15-2011 05:27 PM

Awesome work, great job!

Barb_MO 02-15-2011 06:13 PM

You are doing an excellent job. Stitches are consistent length and line straight where they show be. I always thought feathers were hard to do, yours looks good.

earthwalker 02-15-2011 06:23 PM

Looks great...seems like you have the knack. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Jingle 02-15-2011 06:32 PM

very good job

theresa.redington 02-16-2011 05:14 AM

you can hand quilt for me anytime because my arthritis(sp) has made hand quilting a little more challenging. Getting younger if fun!

#1piecemaker 02-16-2011 05:21 AM
