What beautiful work. I love hand quilting, too; but do not have your patience to tackle something like this. Very impressive!!

What I use? Nothing really special. I don't use a thimble at all, just my hands, a needle and thread! :) What you need is practice, a lot of practice - and a little bit of patience. Normally I am a really unpatient person but quilting calms me down.

I am not sure, but I think I needed 5 to 6 weeks to finish it (fulltime quilting).

Good Grief! I am going to have to think on this. I may even make a concerted effort to work on something like a piece of muslin to see if I can make something similar. I have bookmarked and after I finish the project I am on, I will practice. I am just amazed at your work.
