Hand Quilting
Since the year 2000 I've been machine quilting to maximize the quantity of quilts I can produce. For quite a few years before that I hand quilted and love the unique relief resulting from the individual stitches.
For travel I like to have a handwork project. I've been making very slow progress on this piece for the last eight years. Although it isn't finished I decided to post images as I just spent some time stitching on it this week when on a trip to see my mom. She calls it my travel quilt. It shows up with me every time I visit. The pattern is "Breadfruit" by Elizabeth Root in her book Menehune Quilts . . . the Hawaiian way.

A fabulous idea to have a travel quilt to take with you... just think of all the great memories it will hold for you!
Thanks, Kathy. Yes, the first great memory of this quilt is that I bought the fabrics in Hawaii!
Where can I get a pattern for a machine stitched Hawaiian quilt?
