    I hand quilt and have done so for 40+ years and live it. Just got an order for three baby quilts. Finished putting together this morning one with baseballs on. Ready to hand quilt it now.

    Hand quilt and love it. Haven't tried machine because don't have a machine that is wide enough. I tried to roll the large quit but to me it was just too much.

    I love hand quilting, unfortunately my joints in my fingers are beginning to act up. I'm handquilting a twin for my great neice right now, but its been tough. I like 2 1/2 blocks having it finished. I do my binding by hand. I don't have a big enough machine to try MQ. One day maybe. My friend lets me do quilts on her long arm. Just the pantograms so far, haven't got brave enough to try free hand. My first two quilts that I did, I hand pieced and hand quilted them, but that was back in the '90's.

    I appreciate hand quilted quilts so much !!!!
    I have always been around family and friends that do hand quilting. Yes I do have alot of respect for the craft. I have 6 or 8 tops waiting to be quilted.

    I hand quilt. I love the process and the slower pace. Work is very hectic some days and hand quilting helps me to unwind. I haven't tried machine quilting yet.

    I do both. I have a frame that sets up in my family room,so I like to choose one quilt a winter or so because I don't like my frame up all year. But I love to do it,it's relaxing and I stare out my patio door and watch the birds and the snow!
