I have a friend in Greers Ferry Ar that has a long arm machine. I take all my quilts to her and if I want to hand quilt one f them she bastes it on her machine for a very small $ and if it is for grandchildren that will get a lot of use I just have her machine quilt them. lucky me to have a friend like her.

I spend too much time looking at ideas, patterns, and new fabrics, and not enough time working on them. I need someone to make me get busy! :evil: The ideas in my head are great, but not if they don't get done! I think I hold myself hostage sometimes, putting other things first. I'm glad to have you guys here to listen, also. I needed to put this into words and maybe get my focus back. :? And mine aren't even handpieced so I don't have that excuse. :!:

Putting the 3 layers together is what usually stalls me but once I get past that job then I find that I don't mind working on it a little bit each day. Are you able to have a space to keep the project, and all of it's supplies, in a handy place so that it's convenient to take it out to work on?

Great idea but I would never have fhought of it because my Grand mother had 2 daughters freeze to death comingchome from schoo in a pung, She raised me.She had quilts 2 inches think that she covered with flannel every couple years and tied. When she put me to bed I had better be where I wanted to spend the night becaus I couldn't turn over. I wonder what the original quil under all of that looked like. I may just have my grand daughter who will get this quil but doesn't know it help me dtie it Thanks Lee
