Hand Quilting
#151
What beautiful work you do! Can you tell me about your hand quilting.....do you have a large floor frame you put the quilt into or do you quilt with it on your lap? I have only just begun quilting but have already taught myself how to hand quilt and just finished a table runner. Wasn't perfect but I think I did a pretty good job keeping my stitches even and in the neighborhood of 8-10 per inch. I find hand quilting to be very relaxing and loved having the project to work on while watching tv or something to take with me when I was away from home. I hope someday I can put together some work that is as beautiful as yours :)

YOUR HANDQUILTING IS FABULOUS AND YOUR QUILTS ARE WONDERFUL. I PREFER TO HAND QUILT, BUT I SEE THE NEED FOR THOSE WHO MACHINE QUILT ALSO. :)
i agree that machine pieced and hand pieced quilts need to have their own categories. 8-)

I would love to do more hand quilting and am trying to teach myself, which is not easy. I've looked at different instruction books but I'm not sure which to try.

I was at a quilt show last weekend and there was only one hand quilted quilt displayed. I love to hand quilt and most of my quilts are handquilted with the exception of some of the baby quilts that I know will be washed often. Your handquilting is beautiful.

Your work is absolutely beautiful. I have been quilting for just 5 years now and only do hand piecing and hand quilting. It is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and the piecing is so portable, too. Keep enjoying doing your wonderful skilled work. Phyllis Carol
