Hand stitching is relaxing to me too. I have tons of blocks that I have sewn together while sitting with DH while he watches TV. TV has hardly anything I enjoy. Guess it is an age thing. LOL
Blondie, and other users of perle cotton...What size do you use? I bought size 8 thread but it seems kind of bulky to me and my fabric wants to pucker. I know, you are going to say don't pull your stitches so tight! I am working on that. LOL

If a person has never hand quilted, can someone give a rough approximate of how long it would possibly take for a beginner to hand quilt something say, lap or queen size? I always thought hand quilting took ages, so I've never tried it. I've been looking into it more and now that I see this post about using perle cotton as an option for bigger stitches, I might give it a go in the near future. Do you need a frame/stand/hoop to hand quilt?

Waving to my neighborI say, "Uww, uww, uww, uww, I know, I know, ask me, ask me!"
Nope, you don't. Wish I could recall what prophyte quilter told me that but this sec I can not. For real, it was via a You Tube video I think that a quilter stated she does not use the hoop. I suspect she's not alone.![]()
