Quilts to treasure

Quilts to treasure:

I said bye-bye to "quilt-making" since 2001 after I had made a bunch! Quilts to me, ever since, is a journey I choose to experience. Through constant trial and error - I get bored without it, I have discovered that we have only beginning to discover the great potential of quilt making...

It is the constant learning and discovery of the potential of quilt making that have kept my interests in quilting. 

It is a brain teaser with better tools and techniques.

-Hand quilted quilts by Liuxin

Perfect hand quilting without pain is not just possible, it is easy using thimblelady's pain free technique and the patented thimble: 

Some say it takes forever to hand quilt. That is simply not true. Hand quilting is a beautiful experience you can only comprehend until you experience it. A queen size quilt takes less than 6 months to hand quilt (1 inch cross hatching). Try it! 

It is a world of tranquility. It is heaven!
