Needless to say, I have never heard back from them but I just needed to vent. The lights on the quilts glare and the pictures just show the quilt design contrast and not so much on the piecing. I suppose that is why you never get an email or website for the machine quilters printed in the magazine.
LOL!! I have to laugh (but not AT you). On the LA sites, the complaint is that we can't see enough quilting - especially when the customer wants it quilted "just like the book/magazine/pattern". This is especially hard when the top maker has seen the quilt in person. LOL!!
