My best friend and I bought a longarm together as we both had piles of finished tops. We just quilt for ourselves, QOV, and our two guild’s Community Projects. We do invite quilting friends in for afternoons of quilting “fun” but have not graduated to seriously quilting for others. Some of the donated quilt tops that we’ve quilted have really been “doozies” and real learning experiences. We have quilted over 300 quilts in a year and a half and have had so much fun without the pressure of producing “masterpieces” for others. We are very blessed to be able to just enjoy our quilting time and not have to make a living from it. We are no threat to our local longarmers in the business as we quilt things that they don’t have time to do.
