At my guild's Quilt Show, it is finished quilts only. Some of the quilting on the quilts are beautiful! I think I would be disappointed to see tops only. It isn't finished until the binding in on. 3 years for a LA??? I would have brought it home before now and would have had it finished. It sounds as though your LA is not serious about her business.

I agree with some of the rest that you need to find another quilter. three years is a little much. Even for the best of them. I'd be getting my quilt back. And, as far as the show, the only ones I've ever been to, display finished quilts. But, I'd kinda like to see them myself, so why don't you give us a show here and let us decide?

I would agree about completed quilts, however, having been the featured quilter at our last show, I totally understand the pressure and do't feel it would be tacky at all. My only advice is something I forgot and wished I had done and that was to have a book or register for people to sign and leave their comments. After a few weeks, you forget who stopped by and what nice things they said. It would be great to have a lasting memento of that weekend.

"Three years!?!?! Even I could get one done in that length of time. Either she is very good or you are very patient." KwiltyKahy
Well, that confirms my suspicions...there really is a market out there for another LongArm-er!!!
