I love both too, seems i've really done something when i finish one like that. although i piece on my machine some times. i cut a bun
ch of sguares for one of my friends to get her quilting last winter so cut myself some and made a pretty blended quilt( LIGHT<MED<DARK SQRS>) i would put enough sqrs in aplastic bag and carry it with me when at Dr. next thing i knew i had enough done , to make my quilt top. Really enjoyed it.Have fun :wink: |
I love hand quilting, the most relaxing thing there is to do.
I feel at peace when I am sitting at my frame quilting. I think I only piece the tops so I can have the pleasure of quilting them! :lol: :lol: |

I've never tried this, but l have heard about it and seen it on television. Is it hard to learn to use? When I quilt a lot, I get callouses on 2 fingers on my left hand, always punching them I have tried other things, but just seem to have to feel the needle. I cant control the stitches. |
Hand quilting is very relaxing, and I usually do it in a group, so it is also fellowship! I do machine piece most of my quilts, but occassionally work on Cathedral Windows or Grandmothers Flower Garden or make Yo-Yos by hand. :lol:
