When I purchased my Bernina 200, there were a
lot of flowers in the designs that came with the
machine. I love flowers and can't seem to grow
them myself, so I embroidered them on a quilt and
named it "The Flowers I Wish I Could Grow." Each
block is framed with two different colors of green
and the entire thing is hand quilted by me. I won
the award for best hand quilting at the 2006
Marshfield (WI) Quilt Show. I have been quilting
for years and felt very honored to win that award.
I feel my stitches aren't as good as they used to
be and blame it on older eyes and stiffer hands.
I hand quilt every week with a group of
ladies at my church. The youngest lady
is 64 and the oldest is 92. They all love
to quilt and and there's lots of chatting
and laughter while they are quilting. |
