And there are quilters who don't want to take you under their wings, have no idea why. I always thought that was what quilting was all about.

I agree with you when you say in your March 4th post that it is not the number of quilts produced but doing what you want. I think hand quilting is the most pleasurable part of the quilting experience and your handquilting is gorgeous.

It's obviously something that requires a ton of practice. <BR/><BR/>Again, your work is incredible, Janet.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889819189264646562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-44627563780534151072009-03-02T13:40:00.000+11:002009-03-02T13:40:00.000+11:00Janet me again.

I have been reading "That Perfect Stitch" by Roxanne McElroy. There are so many things that help to make a perfect stitch and she explains all in detail. Not that your quilting isn't perfect but if you want to know how certain fabrics don't work for hand quilting give the book a lookover. I think it's a great book and the details and extreme this lady went to are amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-28860113916769084022009-03-02T00:39:00.000+11:002009-03-02T00:39:00.000+11:00OMG...Spectacular!

If I use anything else I can't tell if the stitch went through.
