dear Averyclaire, what a lovely time you have with your handquilting. the bond of meeting every week is something to treasure!

I am working on a hand-pieced double wedding ring and then will hand quilt it. (it will be the first time for hand quilting) I may be in contact for tips.

thanks for sharing!

Beautiful sight to see! I don’t have any hand quilter’s living close to me so the chances of taking part in a hand quilting bee is remote in the near future, but lovely to know that it is still happening, and maybe will happen for me again one day.

I love hand quilting but now I just do it for very important quilts!

Thanks for visiting my blog and giveaway. I came right over to see yours, and I think the top picture looks very cosy! But more than this, I’m impressed by the artistry of your work. I have a friend who can do beautiful stitching like this but I’m all thumbs, and always have been. So I have to admire from afar. I went to a beautiful quilt show in the V & A museum in London which showed many different aspects of quilting and found it entirely fascinating.

I have looked for and never found what you have, a quilting bee. Not in Virginia, and not here. I hand quilt, and there was a time when I was up to 13 stitches per inch. I imagine now I am closer to 10, perhaps 11 if I paid close attention. I love my quilts and miss quilting. The gentle rocking of the needle and the games I would play with myself about how many stitches I would do before I stopped for the night. You are so lucky to have these friendships. And luckier still to be next in line. Hope you are feeling well. Patsye

I think that it would be wonderful to find a group like that. I think that such special bonds are formed. I learned to hand quilt years ago, but abandoned it for the faster mode in later years. Now I want to go back to it again.

That is so great to have a personal quilting bee! You get to do what you love in the company of friends who love it too. Your handwork is so perfect too. And you get beautiful quilts that will live on and on. What could be better!

I liked you told about your hand quilting with a frame. I ‘ld like participate to a such experience. Generally, in France we baste a quilt together but each quilter sews the quilting alone with an hoop.
Hugs and kisses to you, dear friend.
