Experience joy of making something by hand Making a quilt by hand is a very different, joyous experience. As you grow comfortable with the techniques, hand sewing becomes a calm and meditative part of your day. Yes, making a quilt by hand takes longer, but time spent sewing slowly is not wasted time. In fact, because you can sew anywhere, hand sewing is a productive use of time that would otherwise be wasted. Hand sewing is for people who always need to be doing something. Watch TV, listen to music or an audiobook, or simply enjoy nature with a craft project. Choose the right fabric Choose a variety of fabrics from your stash, go shopping, or both! Choose colors that make you smile. You will be handling them a lot, so the more you love them, the happier you will be. You might not use every fabric you begin with, and you can always add more to the mix. Prints and directional fabrics offer lots of opportunities for fussy cutting (fun!). Solids can be more graphic, with a quieter visual texture. Feel free to use prints and/or solids. Your most unique quilt yet Some think that making a quilt by hand requires patience; but Becky Goldsmith shares that it does not. It requires determination, but that’s different from patience. When you make a quilt by hand, you touch every piece of fabric—a lot! You will find yourself forming a very personal relationship with the cloth, noticing textures, colors, and patterns in a different way. Your quilt becomes a very dear friend. Lastly, hand-sewn quilts have a feel and look that only comes from being sewn by hand. They are soft and cuddly—they feel like old friends, even when they are newly made. Enjoy your hand-sewing adventure!
