I am in love with your Flower Garden quilt and have pinned it. :) I'd consider auditing something if I could hang out on that beach! lol. I can't believe you hand quilt everything, although I understand why you do it - it's gorgeous. I do love hand stitching but it's hard to do with two kids (5 and 3). Nice to 'meet' you.

I'm starting to get curious about hexies though so maybe that will convert me. I love your tumbling blocks quilt. It is just amazing, especially with just the black and white fabrics.Diana @ Red Delicious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157904204372685921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-919275710179544982014-07-16T19:44:12.406+12:002014-07-16T19:44:12.406+12:00Hi Wendy, I am super impressed that you hand quilt...Hi Wendy, I am super impressed that you hand quilt all your quilts.

Your quilts are wonderful, and the fact that you hand quilt is pretty impressive. I live in Minnesota, USA where it gets really, really snowy and cold in the winter. I think our summer must be over already. I am working on a wall hanging for my husband to give to a friend. They met while working on a service trip to the southwest US. This quilt is appliquéd with native American motifs. I'm doing the quilting right now.<br /><br />Leslie S. in MN, USAschmidt1016https://www.blogger.com/profile/14017833554522216187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-47969669158158924332014-07-11T11:56:41.521+12:002014-07-11T11:56:41.521+12:00I'm also visiting from the New Quilt Blogger H...I'm also visiting from the New Quilt Blogger Hop.

When I first met my husband I didn't think he spoke English and I decided in my own head he must be a foreign exchange student. Turns out it was love at first sight for him and it took a while for him to work up the courage to talk to me. Goodness, the memories! I am visiting your blog from California, and I am working on a quilt inspired by a photograph by another California, Frans Lanting. :)Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761104535082701259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-37974899836993678282014-07-10T03:01:24.113+12:002014-07-10T03:01:24.113+12:00Wendy, I love that you hand quilt.

It's nice to be able to finish a quilt quickly, but the slower pace of hand quilting is nice as well. I've got a hand quilt project going on now and it's a nice change of pace when I sit behind the loom.
