PICK ME!!! I love making the tops, but hate the sandwiching & quilting & binding. So I have several tops sitting in a pile. I would love a working relationship with someone like you!

Also, if you are interested in getting some just for personal practice, you can usually find tons of tops on ebay for cheap.

I love making tops and don't enjoy the quilting as much I live too far away and am too old to be your partner though. I need someone like you near here.

Boy if we lived closer, I love to make the tops and I dont like to quilt. I keep thinking that someday I will grow to enjoy the whole process.

I wish I could trade with you. I love making quilt tops.
My problem is after I get the top done, I can't afford the machine quilting.

You are not alone, Ashley! I love hand quilting but I don't like piecing, that is one of the main reasons why I have started to do wholecloth quilts.

talk to some quilt shops around your area and show them some of your work and leave a card. you should pick up some business.

I love the whole process but do not like making bed size quilts. They are so difficult to handle.

I love the hand quilting more then the pieceing. Like to buy and shop for fabrics, hate cutting, I like to sew, but we have a full household and the adults work at different hours of the day, so I am never alone....that makes a dif. right now I am in the waiting roomof our hospital my DH is getting his heart abalted and they just called and are going ahead and putting a pacemaker in while they have him in surgery. You know all you need is a surragate top sewer. have fun. Jackie

LOL, I should also warn anyone wanting me to do their quilts that I have one on the hoop now and a whole cloth waiting! I stopped my guitar lessons because it was affecting how my hands felt when I quilted. I felt like I had to make the choice: guitar or quilting. Obviously, I chose quilting (and I'm much better at it than the guitar!) but my hand is still recovering. So I thought I'd give machine quilting a go until my hands are ready. I'm still not good at it at all, but it's way more fun than I thought it would be! (Me and my sewing machine don't like each other most of the time!) So my plan is to do both.
I'm not emotionally attached to anything (yeah, I'm weird like that) so I would try to sell most everything that comes my way! The exceptions are the ones I have in line now, one was a gift to me and one is a gift.
