Hand Piecing a Quilt Block

Hand Stitch a Quilt Block !

Let’s do some hand sewing and yes I just saw you row your eyes and say, “I can’t do that!” Well, are you traveling soon and can’t take a sewing machine along? Here is my basic hand piecing class, think about it….

I feel all quilters should at some time do hand piecing, I know you think I’m nuts, but it brings me back to the tradition of what quilters are all about. I try to do one every year or so. Your piece need not be a huge project, but please, try it.

This is my travel quilt box, would you believe it’s an old Ethel M Chocolate box from Las Vegas about 20 years ago. It has everything but scissors, you just can’t travel with them anymore. I have gotten into the habit of keeping it all together. This box has been on many vacations, fishing trips and even at baseball/football games in many towns.
