I WAS hand quilting the The Big Green Monster. I started in June and up until very recently I was putting in at least two or three hours a night on it. I love hand work because it relaxes me. Then as "crunch time" came for Twisted Sisters, hand quilting became something to look forward to as soon as I put the quilts for the TS project "to bed." So, until I can get back to the "monster," take a few stitches for me.
