Taughtby Grandma

It looks like it's on it's way to another beauty when it's done. I don't know how you keep your fingers from getting sore with all the hand quilting you do. I learned to hand quilt from my mother and grandmother, but my fingertips used to get so raw I don't even hand quilt baby quilts. I definitely appreciate those of you who do it.

You mention using tshirt stablizer. Tell me why you used that. Is it to strengthen the older fabrics? Is it difficult to hand quilt through? This is a new idea to me. Love working on those old treasures myself and knowing that my hands are where another placed stitches.
