I DID break my ankle some years ago, and WAS lucky to have a quilt basted and ready to quilt, as I could do little else. Very clever planning. 8-)Elaine Adairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14664504842156046995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-350809201052331172009-05-12T19:11:00.000+09:002009-05-12T19:11:00.000+09:00You have chosen a beautiful design for your quilt....You have chosen a beautiful design for your quilt. It is going to be a gorgeous quilt! <br><br>I like the idea of making and using a stencil.

I do love having some handwork around, especially in winter - I love machine quilting, but hand-quilting gives me time to remember when and why I fell in love with quilting.<br>Enjoy your hand work!Alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-80620882414662360582009-05-12T12:55:00.000+09:002009-05-12T12:55:00.000+09:00That is a very pretty quilting design you have cho...That is a very pretty quilting design you have chosen. It will look very elegant with your pieced design. I agree...hand quilting is not a summer sport. :-) Unless it is a small piece. Hand quilting makes a quilt so special. I miss being able to do it. <br>In defense of machine quilters, I would like to say that it is not about "mass production." Machine quilting requires a different set of skills and a different set of emotions, but none the less infusing one's soul into one's work. I know you know that Tanya because I have seen some beautiful work that you have done, but I just wanted to state that for the record. :-)<br>Blessings! ----and please do not break a leg!Lindahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-56292574700034536142009-05-12T12:12:00.000+09:002009-05-12T12:12:00.000+09:00Oh YESS, absolutely !

The result is sooo much softer, than with machine quilting, no matter how long it takes - and it is such a relaxing process.<br>Machine quilting always makes me think of "mass production". Nice technical performance, but no emotion... whereas with handquilting you put a "piece of your soul" in it. The time it takes will always remind you some moments of your life, and that's what moves me.<br>I'd rather have few handquilted quilts, than a big pile done with the machine.... <br>ENJOY YOUR QUILTING, dear Tanya! ;>)<br>XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO<br>NADINENadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10455854577851089406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-88619944293054403102009-05-12T10:28:00.000+09:002009-05-12T10:28:00.000+09:00Your quilt is beautiful and the hand quilting will...Your quilt is beautiful and the hand quilting will make it fabulous.
