Phantom-Rose
I have been sewing and crafting for most of my life but have only been quilting since 2007. I am self and internet taught and work exclusively by hand. I am visually impaired and don't believe in sewing machines, although I do have such a beast hiding in my closet. I hate the thing and find hand sewing much more fun, relaxing, and just plain easier due to my vision limitations. It may be more time-consuming but it's also less stressful. I have always done all my sewing by hand. My other crafting passion is making costumes and clothing.
