This is a little wall hanging/table topper that I just finished hand quilting. While the stitching is not as good as others I've seen on the board, I'm improving and that's all I can ask (lol).

This is also the first quilt that I used 80/20 batting while hand quilting. It really is easier to quilt thru than 100% cotton....

Enjoy!

I think it looks great Joyce! And the stitching looks PERFECT!!!

Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Wow!!!!! Great work. I love it.

Looks perfect to me! Really, really nice job.

WOW, your stitching is fabulous!!! :thumbup:

Your stitches are nice even stitches - from what I've read, that's more important that being tiny,tiny - I also like the design.

Your hand stitching is just amazing! It's so even and perfect! Well, the whole wall hanging is stunning.

Nice work!

Wonderful !!!

very good it look nice

Wow SewJoyce looks as pretty close to perfect as one can get. Your stitches are nice and even and tiny. This is very nice. How did you mark it?

I can only wish to stitch that beautifully. Wonderful, Wonderful!!!!

I just took a hand quilting class couple of weeks ago...
Wish mine could look that good!!
How long have you been doing this???

Do you use hoop? If so, what size/kind?

Again, it looks wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Did you read the thread about not being critical of your own work?

YOU DID GREAT! :-P

Beautiful Work!

Great work! It's beautifully done IMO!

Wow, that is great.

wow that is just stunning. I tried hand quilting once and I did finish one pillow and was intending to do two for a set. Well the second one never got finished. It is in my UFO pile. Some day I might just pick it up again but I am guess it won't be until I retire.

your stitches are beeeeauuuuuuteeeefaminous!!!!! i've never been able to get mine to look that good. :thumbup:

Beautiful work! That is some really nice stitching.

Wow Joyce, your stitching is unbelievable! Not only are they even stitched, but they're in the exact spot they're supposed to be in! Excellent job! :thumbup:

You have a beautiful stitch

Oh, wow, your stitching is beautiful! And very even! Absolutely great. I also like the contrasting thread on the fabric. Go on with it!

awesome

Amazing work! I don't have the patience for anything hand sewn.

Exquisite!!!

Those stitches are great. I think they look perfect!

I buy these little tops pre-marked from the Stencil Company. Some day I'll have to learn to mark one this intricate for myself. But I have marked baby quilts, etc. using the blue wash away pen....by the time I get through wooling it around it needs to be washed anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:

You guys are all so sweet with your compliments...makes all the pin pricks (which eventually will become a callus again:lol: ) worthwhile.

I started hand quilting seriously a couple of years ago and was determined that I was going to learn how to do it. Well, I'm still learning....

And I don't use a hoop....they just seem to get in my way :lol: :lol:

Have never been to a hand quilting class. Did they tell you to use a hoop, etc.????

Thank you so much for your compliment....someday I want to be as good as you!!! Your work is just magnificent!! :D

You hand stitching is amazing!!
Love it!

Beautiful!

Wow, Joyce, that stitching looks DEVOOOON!!!!
