I like it all. Except for connecting the two binding strips before sewing the binding down, to front or back. I have tried every method I can find and I just get confused. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

Viki Kirby does beautiful work. I think she has a web site, but I couldn't find it. We're in the same guild and I have seen first hand some of her beautiful work.

I really love the quilting because I love my LA. But the next best part is the planning and dreaming of what I can do next while looking at what my DH calls my "quilt porn" either in mags or on the computer.

For me, a lot of times it is whatever I am doing at the moment, but do love the actual hand quilting. Then when I give it to someone, and see the look on his/her face, I am so happy when I make someone else happy too.
