The work you have done is beautiful. Anyone wo can do such lovely embroidery, can certainly hand quilt. You have a lot of time invested -- it will not take as long to quilt as it did to do the embroidery and when you finish you will be justly proud.

You obviously have a wonderful talent for using a needle! Your work is amazing. I have no doubt whatsoever that you would be up to the challenge to quilting this yourself. And I think you would be really happy when you're done...a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction! Go for it!

Your quilt is beautiful. After spending so much time and care to get to this point, you can't go wrong quilting it yourself. You obviously are very handy with needle and thread. It will mean so much more to you if you do it yourself.

I love Redwork. Your Quilt is beautiful.

The quilt is beautiful. I am sure you can quilt yourself just fine. As for the ladies at church, just tell them, you have decided to quilt it yourself. No other explaination needed.

Your quilt is so nice I wouldn't trust it to anyone else. You'll be glad you did it yourself.
