I'll never get a LA. I'm a piecer not an artist. I see some of the quilts posted here in the pic section and I never visioin any beautiful quilting like THAT coming from this little brain.
IMHO, Artists have a different brain than I have. Sometimes I can put color together for a quilt and be very happy but can never see how to quilt the darn thing. That's why it's so much fun to send a quilt out. They see quilting in spaces I would just leave blank! And put pretty stuff where I would just do a boring meander.
I can rarely send a quilt out now...saving up for another queen to go out...but so worth the money.
No room for one in this house anyway....and no...not sour grapes
