Just one picture of a border pattern I quilt on my new wholecloth. I will add some more details around it - maybe you can see it in my next post! :-)

You are born to hand quilt! It's stunning!

That is beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Holy smokes that's amazing

Exquisitely beautiful....I'm so in awe of your abilities...I'm not a hand quilter, but to be able to stitch like that is a God given talent....I think your work, without a doubt, is the best I've ever seen.....

You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic work. Hand quilting is on my list of things to learn.

Beautiful!

you do have a god given talent for hand quilting, it is amazing...your stitches are perfect, how many stitches do you get in an inch, what needles do you use, really amazing...

I am very, very grateful for that talent! Isn't it great to create something that can delight others and yourself?

The number of stitches per inch depends a lot of the fabric, the batting and the quilting thread I use. In general I can do 14 stitches to the inch, only counted on the top of the quilt. I use a #11 John James or Roxanne and I use a 18" hoop on a floor stand.

Absolutely stunning!

You have an amazing gift! Keep up the good work.

I ordered The Essential Quilter just from going through your posts. If I can learn to be a quarter as good as you, I'll be happy. :D

Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Nice!

This is stunning! Do you do this in a hoop, and what do you use to mark your patterns before quilting?

Wish i could do that!

Yes, I quilt in a 18" hoop on a floor stand. For this quilt I use the method of needlemarking and I also quilt freehand.

Beautiful, as always.

Absolutely amazing. I am always impressed by such beautiful hand work. How long have you been hand quilting to achieve that small, consistent quilt stitch?

I have been hand quilting for more that 20 years now - and I only do that! No piecing, no appliqué, only wholecloths.

you make me want to go back to hand quilting. I really should my work is so much better when I hand quilt instead of machine

Nice , That is on my bucket list.
