Sorry, didn't mean that I won't share credit if I did, and it'll be definitely teamwork if the quilter and pieced are not the same person, and that is why I said that I want my quilts to be all mine, even if not as pretty as an LA would make them, because I don't want to say I and xxxx made this, lol. Just wanted to clarify my statement.

This being said, I am also having trouble getting used to the idea of someone else quilting for me, I want my quilts to be all mine...I have the option of renting a long arm, so will be looking into that option. Although I have to say, almost anyone would do a better job quilting than me, but hey, I want my signature on my quilts,lol. Plus, ask my hubby, I have hard time sharing credit :oops: U :lol: :mrgreen:
I kind of have trouble with going to a show and seeing a piecing ribbon on a quilt that's a remarkably simple pieced pattern but beautifully and elaborately quilted. When they say that ' quilting often makes the quilt' they ain't kidding.
Locally, they've started giving ribbons for both now but it's TEAMWORK regardless of whether the piecer gives credit or not.
Having said that, I wonder how many quilters allow themselves to take full credit for a longarm artists' work away from a quilt show--especially when giving a quilt as a gift.
