I just found this site and am anxious to see what all is on here.
I have been quilting off and on for years. I hand quilt and machine quilt. Currently, I have 2 quilts that I have started to hand quilt, which I need to finish. One of them was made by my grandmother, while the other was made by me. We have a group in Florida that hand quilts, but I can only do it so long on a frame or my back hurts. If I could quilt longer on it, I would put mine in there and have them completed. I love to quilt on my lap, but it gets hot. How do most of you quilt, or do most of you machine quilt or have them quilted by machine?

Welcome neighbor! I love to hand quilt but I also love to machine quilt and have both a large three rail racheting hand quilting frame that I keep in my family room and a longarm in my quilting studio. I also love to hand quilt with a lap hoop in my lap. I always have a quilt on both frames and a couple in hoops all at the same time. No room for boredom that way LOL :lol:

Greetings from New Hampshire.
I gave up hand quilting years ago - takes too long for me (75 yrs. old)
I'll machine quilt myself anything up to a small lap.
All other quilts go to a fellow SooNipi Guild member who does fabulous work.
