Category: Hand Quilted
Most modern quilts are pieced and quilted using machines. The quilts in this category were done by hand. Some quilts were pieced by machine, but quilted by hand. Others were done completely by hand. Practitioners of hand-quilting site more than a wish to follow traditional methods. Hand-quilting can be meditative and therapeutic. Plus it is portable and great for long waits in airports or an activity while watching TV!

Original Design
This quilt is totally hand sewed, no machine ever touched it. I made it for my partner as an anniversary gift. I was inspired by a pattern that she had drawn. This is the second quilt I have ever made and I worked practically every day for 10 months. It was one of the most difficult pieces of art I have ever made.

I made this quilt for my mother who collected tea cups. Her tea cups were arranged on wooden shelves very similar to this quilt pattern. When I saw this pattern I knew it was the perfect quilt to make for her. It is her favorite quilt.

I am teaching myself to quilt and I learned a lot doing this project. It is far from perfect, but I love the reproduction fabrics. The binding is made of two inch squares and the whole quilt was done by hand.
