( I sure hope spelling doesn't count. HA HA)

You are so right there. A professional long armer does beautiful work but I like to think we amatures do too. I do everything on my quilts like you do. I have an idea in my head how I want the finished quilt to look and I can't describe it to someone else and have it turn out the way I want it. It is great to be recognized for my effort being just one person who worked on the quilt. I do feel that when a long armer is hired, that her name should be on the quilt as well. Many times, the quilter will not mention her name. My mom is a long armer and I hand quilt. We have some qreat discussions on which is the better method. HA HA!
