I do enjoy hand quilting but haven't done it on my last two quilts because I had to get them done quicker than I can hand quilt. I need to organize my room better so that I have room to do more quilting. I am lucky to get one done a year.Conniecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266327228870948083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-77707023610141855442019-01-15T14:11:21.364-08:002019-01-15T14:11:21.364-08:00Thank you for visiting here as well.

Most of my learning has been from You Tube, but many years ago I had a friend and her mother (also a friend) put my first quilt on a frame in her living-room, one of those that takes up the whole room when the furniture in moved back against the walls. They worked with me and taught me the basics of hand-quilting. It's a great and warm memory.
