We live in a world of instant gratification, so machine piecing has become a part of that. However, when I began quilting over 20 years ago, I wanted everything to be done by hand. I did for awhile, but soon decided that time just wouldn't permit this, so I started to machine-piece my quilts, but I have remained dedicated to quilting, by hand, all of my quilts. I have nothing against machine quilting, but I do feel that hand quilting has a softer, non-commercial
look!
