I have been posting a lot about machine quilting lately but yes I do still hand quilt. Hand quilting is my favorite but I am also enjoying machine quilting. Hand quilting is a long process and very rewarding! Machine quilting is a lot faster and sometimes I want to finish a quilt in a week rather than in months .
I always have at least a few hand quilting projects going at any given time.
Here is a video of my one of my current hand quilting projects

Thanks so much for making this video! It’s so interesting to see how you hand quilt.
you are welcome….I’ll be doing more soon 🙂
I learned to quilt by hand at a young age. I look at photos and marvel at what I did then. My hands no longer cooperate in that venture and now the only time I hand quilt is when I make one of my “primitive” quilts made from recycled clothing. Then I quilt with a basting needle, big stiches and pearl cotton. Oddly, those are the quilts that people request to buy the most often. In the world of beautiful quilts, I suppose they seem unusual or odd in a way that attract some folks. What I mean to say after this long ramble is that as you get on in age don’t let physical limitations stop your desire to quilt. Evolve and develop a new methods and styles.
