I usually do my own quilting-all sizes on my machine. But....recently i got so far behind on my quilting that i decided to send 3 of them to the LQS and have her do them. It is such a relief to get them out of my house and know that they are getting quilted!! Now, I can finish or start my other projects on the list!! I don't know that i can always afford to have this done but...sometimes i think it's worth it!
