Your handquilting is super, and I like this needle marking method and hope to try it too.

What kind of batting do you use? Your stiches are so beautiful. I love hand quilting. To me it is also relaxing. I am just getting back into it for the first time in a long time.
Thanks for the info about transfering the markings with the needle. It looks like a yarn needle. I have always been afraid to use anything to mark a quilt so I have been using a lot of masking tape and doing mostly straight lines. I have a quilt where I want to do some echo quilting so this might just work. |
such beautiful work-I can't show my stitches that close-I.m envious!! :lol:

Andrea.... you really are an artist who works with thread and fabric... your work is amazing.

What a great idea. I am going to use it in a few weeks when I get my top finished

I am in the lucky situtation to stay at home and to quilt, quilt, quilt the whole day. My dear husband is so supportive to me and he loves what I do. All my time I can spend in hand quilting, in praciting and, of course, in doing traditional wholecloths. I don't piece, I don't have to cut, press and sew. You see my situation is different to most of us quilters! I am a hand quilter but I have never done a whole cloth. I quilt pieced quilts and blank squares that are alternated in some patterns like the Irish Chain but my fingers get sore. How do you avoid this. Sometimes I bleed on my fabric. |
Your work is amazing...I try to hand quilt occasionally but not enough to really get better.am anxious to hear what batting you use...what thread?

Practically every quilting magazine shows hand quilting technique.
Born to hand quilt, your hand quilting is sooooo very beautiful. Looking at your stitches feeds my soul! I began teaching myself to quilt about 25 years ago and found myself, more recently, teaching classes on piecing and hand quilting. I will always hand quilt. I do not want it to become the lost art it once was in the U.S. |
That is so cool! I didn't know it was possible to do that.
