I have 3 quilt tops pieced; and they would be my 1st, 2nd and 3rd ever quilt tops ! I would send them out to be quilted and spend the money as far as it would go ! i've been really discouraged lately because I have these tops finished and just can't afford to have them professional quilted. NOW, I am working on hand quilting one and will probably end up quilting the others on my Brother or singer......
I got a $50 gift card for JA's for Christmas and haven't spent it yet, just looking and planning and spending it in my head ! (and that is a dangerous place !)
