This store has a longarm machine, and you can take a lesson to learn how to quilt it yourself. After you've had the lesson, you can rent the machine by the hour. Is this actually something I could accomplish in one lesson?
Love the pattern, the fabrics and the colors.
I practice my free-form quilting with paper and pencil first. I find it helps me to get the flow going and the design down in my head.
Make a practice sandwich to bring with you. You could make one out of old sheets and left over batting. Also bring the design that you want to use to quilt with. Then you can use that for your first lesson. That should help you decide whether you can do it or not.
