BellaBoo, I am a longarm quilter. I noticed you live in Arizona. I live in Grand Junction, CO. I have been quilting for 12 1/2 years now. If you can't find a local LA, I would love to quilt for you. I am the only quilter in here Junction that owns a Statler Stitcher so I get quite a bit of work. Most orders are out about two months. Write a "pm" if you would like to see some of my work. I do have a couple of quilts in the picture library here on the Quilting board. I use Hobbs 80/20 unless the costomer brings me their own batting. About the only thing I really don't like to do is use two different colors of thread in the bobbin and top threads, but will if that is what the customer wants.
