Sewsumi, I know what you are talking about when you say that hand-quilting is relaxing. I used to hand-quilt and loved it. I always said it was my therapy. Unfortunately, the arthritis and Karpal tunnel has taken the fun out of it. Now I'm learning how to quilt on my sewing machine...stitch-in-the-ditch and free motion quilting. The FMQ is a little tricky, but I'm sure I will get the hang of it. Keep quilting and relaxing and don't forget to send pics...I love looking at them.
Love all the new quilts in your album Sewsumi! The colors and hand quilting are gorgeous! You do fantastic work!
It was showing in the line up of pictures at the top of the page yesterday and caught my eye. All your quilts are pretty. I have a soft spot for hand quilting since that is mostly what I do and what my grandmother did. I still haven't learned to FMQ but have done some straight line quilting on my machine recently. It sure make finishing a quilt a lot faster, but any special ones I make will still be hand quilted. My daughter turned 27 this past Monday, made me feel old as well. I'm not supposed to have a kid that old!
