    Hand sewing is the best part x2 ! I take it along to the park when there's music there. People stop by all the time and comment on what I'm doing.

    I like you quilting, I hand quilt too, now most of the time I quilt in the ditch. I used to quilt 1/4 inch from each seam, I still love the look.

    I am impressed by the precision of your work. I will stick with machine quilting, like my great great grandmother did.

    Lovely job, keep up the good work! I am so encouraged by all of the responses. Nice to know that handwork is still alive!

    The big stitches add a nice pop

    to the quilt.

    Very pretty stitches. May have to try it (I've never hand quilted).
