Anyway, I was a die-hard hand-piecer and hand-quilter. After a while, I finally got a sewing machine and started working with it. It was so hard to get used to! I finally did get acclimated, and now do a majority of my piecing and quilting on a sewing machine. I still have a few projects that I decide to hand quilt, but I hadn't hand pieced anything for a long time.
Until tonight. I'm not quite sure where the urge came from, but I was so in the mood to do some hand sewing. I busted out my template plastic, pencil, straight pins, needle and thread.
And here's the result:
I'm not sure if this will be a singular block (potholder, maybe?) or a small quilt or a big quilt, but it was nice to do things the old-fashioned way for a change.

Boy do I admire your patience for hand piecing/quilting!
Hey Christy, Kim Delker shared your blog with me, she is my daughter-in-law! Loved looking at your fabrics on your blog. I know what you mean about once in a while just wanting to do hand work! I have an ongoing "Grandmother's flower Garden" that goes everywhere with me. I worked on it in the hospital when my daughter's son was born by emergency c-section, we joked that it was for his wedding day...probably not far from the truth.
Wish i would have had a chance to talk quilts with you at Collin and Kim's wedding, unfortunately I was pretty busy that day.

Hi Shawn! You'll have to share pictures of your quilts sometime with Kim to then share with me. I'm always up for a conversation about quilting. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
