Your quilting is truly artwork.

You hit the nail on the head! The word "quilting" is often meant like "making quilts" and it summarizes all the techniques used for it like piecing, appliqué, machine or hand quilting etc. For me the word "quilting" means doing all the little stitches through the layers of a quilt and creating structure and design.
It's a craft of it's own and can be used as an independend technique.
I know many quilters around here who consider the quilting as a necessity of sewing the layers of a quilt together. But it can be so much more! A quilter can put so much creativity in it.

You have the patience of a saint and the dedication of whatever (old age--can't think of a word). I wish I were a 100th as good as you at hand quilting.

Borntohandquilt. I just noticed you have Schleswig-Holstein, Germany as location. I am a geneology (Family History) buff. Some of my ancestors are from Holstein, Germany. What a lovely surprise to actually meet someone (well kinda meet)from there. Some of the Holsteins arrived here in USA where Philadelphia, Pennsylvania now stands, in 1664. Some of the very founders of that area.

I am very interested to hear more - if you are interested please send me a private message.

Your work just amazes me!! My attention span would give out LONG before I got to the end of the first spool of thread.
My hand quilting is limited to small projects, and I SO admire your work!!!
