No I have taken my quilts to a long arm quilter. I just piece the tops and hem the bindings but I still call them my quilts. Others enjoy the hand work and be able to complete the job but I haven't the room or ability to handle the big quilts I make several queen and king size every year. My friend does a beautiful job, quickly and shares lots of patterns and ideas and I have gained much from her help. Please don't tell my family and friends I don't make quilts they love them,
