I tie the smaller quilts (baby and coverlets) and I give my big quilts to a friend of mine who does long arm quilting. She does beautiful work and I would rather do it this way and give the money to someone I totally trust with my quilts and know that I will love whatever she does - and I do! I have been recommending her to other quilters around here. I would much rather help a cottage industry than a commercial outfit. It is more personal too. Edie
