I finished a 50 x 60 Christmas Wreath Log Cabin quilt this year and wanted it done in time for Christmas to give to my mother. No one locally had time. SO I used the internet, found Ginny at Sew Kountry Fabrics in Clarksville, AR. I took a chance and sent her that quilt and a lap size trip around the world. She is extremely reasonable!
I never thought I'd send off a quilt but hey the people here are way high compared to her and their skills are actually the same.
I have 3 quilt tops that I really like and want them professionally quilted, I'll be sending to her after the first of the year.
Even with shipping/handling, etc it's still a better price.
My machine quilting skills are coming along but that's not what I enjoy.
Best of luck to you!
