I've been hand quilting this little number all weekend,
and thinking about how much I love to quilt by hand.
It makes me slow down and contemplate the important things in life,
like friends and family,
warmth and good food,
safety, health and laughter.
And the encouragement and support of all of you!

The time is well spent, thank you for voicing what I feel about hand quilting, this is such a lovely post. I hadn't done any since last winter and just this week realised how rusty I'd gotton. There's nothing like it.
So lovely... I am impressed with all this beautiful work! That red bit is mouthwatering! I love the relaxing slowness that hand quilting brings too. Enjoy!

And now, I really really, REALLY, want to learn to hand quilt. What a lovely post. What a lovely, quiet, calm feeling I have now.
What a lovely post. That is why I always have some hand work going on....quilting, piecing, applique, sometimes maybe knitting or crochet.
