We learned two different techniques. I will have to practice my rocking motion (and find a thimble that I like!) but I know it will get easier & faster with more practice.
I really enjoyed learning this! I have always loved handwork, since I was a little girl. I do lots of embroidery, blanket stitch applique & love hand stitching my bindings on quilts. Oh! and hand stitching wool felt:
So sad our Rangers didn't win the World Series, but they had a heck of a season! Way to go Rangers! I made this in honor of you....

Love that stitching!
Well now I know why you weren't at the book club meeting today! :>) My mama handquilts all her quilts - the one she made for me this year is an extra large king size! She must really love me. Looking forward to seeing more of your handquilting!
