After reading the first paragraph on this post I am compelled to leave a comment. I have recently become more involved in hand stitching and your comment about becoming more appreciative of small things is so true. And here I thought it was because I retired. Perhaps a combination of both, which has allowed me to slow down. This is a great link party. Thank you and all that participate for continuing to blog.<br />CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-11565424369936228392017-06-05T01:03:49.250-04:002017-06-05T01:03:49.250-04:00Hey, you are getting there!

Sometimes it is because there is an issue as to how to finish them, some were "what was I thinking", but I also have had ones that I didn't have a "home" for, and then finished to donate for such things as "flood or fire victims". I also have one that I have been hand quilting, and it will be a few more winters before it is done.

So I know that it will be a couple of weeks before I can join the slow stitching, but enjoy looking at others progress. Do not feel bad about the time it has taken to do your quilt, I have some of my very first quilts that are waiting in line! Have a great day.Chopin - A Passionate Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070576868549479492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-19819480816753892212017-06-04T08:16:46.248-04:002017-06-04T08:16:46.248-04:00I had a queen sized quilt (my first quilt) that to...I had a queen sized quilt (my first quilt) that took me 20 years to hand-quilt.
