No, I use a 18" hoop on a stand. I can't quilt in a frame because I need to work in one direction (towards my body). That way I can reach even stitches. Furthermore we don't have the space in our house for a big frame and with the hoop I only need a small corner at the window!

I love hand quilting but have never tried a whole cloth quilt. This may be on my "to do" list. Man, it just keeps getting longer all the time. Your work is beautiful.

WOW! As always your quilting is spectacular!!! I only wish I could do it as well as you. I don't have the eyesight or the patience to do it. I will stick to machine quilting. Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy and admire the talents of those who can do it by hand.
