Hello, I am or was a quilter. Still have all my stuff. I was looking for a forum for a quilty friend and found this awesome site.
I do have a question. Does anyone hand quilt any more? I went to the county fair and all the quilts were machine done. All very beautiful, but I was dissapointed that not one entry hand done. Am I outdated with this idea? I love the hand work involved. I still have one in the hoop and another folded but ready to go back int the frame. I didn't finish them because stuff happens. So guess I'm still in progress!

I entered a hand quilted one in the fair and won a blue ribbon.

Hi and welcome from Oregon. I am sure that there are people on here that still do hand quilting.
There is a lady that goes to my sewing group on Tuesdays that hand quilts. And does a wonderful job of it too. I actually am not sure if she even uses a sewing machine. Hmmm I will have to ask her.

Welcome from Virginia. I still hand quilt. There are a few on this site that are amazing at it. And there are quite a few amazing long arm quilters also. Hope you enjoy it here. And we would love to see your work.
