Thank you, I love your picture. I am a big fan of England. I enjoy collecting tea cups and I love the needlework. That is why I like to hand quilt my work.

Thank you for your welcome.I use to live in VA before I came to MN. Now I am able to do more here with out all the city life. But I do visit often and have many friends all over VA. I have half my fabric stach as I call it from all different areas of VA.

Thank you for your welcome . I live in the bottom part of MN so I am not that far away in fairbault county. I have been here for six yrs. Now and love the midwest .

I live in Brown County. We are not too far from each other.

I have heard of that one. I am still one of the tourist that has to pull out the map to make any heads or tails where some are out of it. I am only use to seeing the ones on the news to get an idea of a few others. I have traveled to Minneapolis several times. That was where I had my first hand Quilting lesson at the Mall of America

I am sorry for using all the capital lettering. I am new to this. I am disabled with one hand so I always type with the capital key on to make it easier. Thank you for your info.

Hello and welcome from Nevada!

Welcome from Georgia.

Your stitches will get smaller and more even with practice.

Welcome from Utah!

Welcome to the board!
I love to hand quilt and will tell you that it takes some time to "master" it (not that I have really haha).
It's better to aim for even stitches, rather than tiny ones.
Make sure you have a small enough needle that you can use easily. For me it's a size 10.
Good luck! :)
