Thanks to everyone for their welcoming words. I'll get to the pictures one day soon. I like everything about quilting - there's even something satisfying about the ripping - as long as it turns out right in the end. Most of the time I can get things to work. I do mostly machine piecing and quilting and some hand piecing and do like the hand quilting. I'm working on a queen size now. Been working on it (use the terms "working" very loosely as it has sat for about a year) a few years. I finally pulled it out and forgot how much I like to do it. One day maybe it will be finished. Right now working on some totes.
