From my hand-quilting class
 

This class was also taught by Leslie Hickland.

I had hand-quilted three other quilts before this class - but I have not - and had not - been able to achieve tiny stitches.

She said "even is more important than tiny" - so I have decided to go with that and attempt to retain whatever sanity I may have left.

Why I placed that stencil where I did is beyond me.

The first picture is the front - the back is where I decided I did not like the way I traced the stencil.

I have no idea of what to do with this - but the teacher was complimentary.

Your work is beautiful!

Beautiful stitches!!! something to be proud of

Wow. That is beautiful. I can't even image myself being able to do that. You sure learned your lesson. I bet you received an "A". BrendaK

It's terrific! It looks nicely centered to me. I have been told that we usually our own worst critics.

I usually do one stitch at a time. I have not had much "success" with the "rocking" method.

I also cut my thread about 36 inches long - go 18 inches in one direction - then bury the thread - and then go the other direction with the "tail" and then bury that end.

I hate burying the thread ends.

If you have a chance to take a class from Leslie Hickland, I highly recommend her. I did learn a lot from that class.
She provided the fabric (muslin) and the batting for the class.

Beautiful stitches. Wish I could hand quilt but it's not in my future.

Lovely! I wish I could stitch that well.

Beautiful work. Keep it up.

That's so true! I am my own worst critic.

I think you piece looks great. Your stitches are so even. Good job!
