I'm 58 yrs old and have made many quilts. All have been hand pieced and hand quilted. When my Grandmother taught me at age 8 or 9 you hand to have even work with at least 6 stchs per inch or out it came. I still love it and still love to challenge myself with stitches per inch. I can usually be found with patches in my handbag along with needle and thread. It relaxes me.

I have only done hand quilting. I would like to try machine quilting someday. But all in all I like the look of hand quilting better. It give the quilt a warm old fashion charm. The machine ones to me have that store bought look to them. I think they are lovely and I know alot of ppl do them that way. It is just a personal preference. I of coarse would not turn away any quilt done by machine. lol

Hand quilt all of mine, although with the RA it is taking linger to get done these days. But, I think hand quilting adds an air of authenticity to a quilt. Guess I'm just an old fashioned kind of gal cause I like the old ways and the old patterns.
