Hand Quilters - When do you quilt?
#31
Oh, please don't feel guilty, for hand quilting is so gorgeous and what can make a quilt. Even more so than doing some of the other parts. Someday I hope to own a hand quilted quilt for I love them. Know it won't be done by me though because of too much nerve damage from chemo. I think too many women are made to feel guilty and that is not fair. Do what you love doing. Hugs Mary M

I quilt in the evenings and late into the night whilst watching TV just like many do. I work full time and don't have much time to sew and quilt so I take turns with each and have a bit of a back log to catch up on! It is faster to sew than to quilt!! I may try my hand at FMQ once I pluck up the courage to do so as I would just hate for a quilt that I make being spoilt with terrible quilting!

Since I had cataract surg. several years ago my eyes get too blurry to quilt for more than an hour or so, even with breaks. It's so much easier to quilt by daylight than lamplight, even with good lighting, so I ususlly quilt during the day, and outside if I can!!

Hi I hand quilt whenever I get a chance sometimes its evening and sometimes during the day. My quilt is set up in my dining area and my back is usually to the TV but I can hear what going on in the background. I relax this way. I am retired but wonder how I had time to work. LOL

I do piecing, cutting and all the rest during the day and that feels OK. But sitting, relaxing and quilting (just like reading a book), only happens in the evening. So I'm anxious to know when you quilt.
