    I quilt all my own. I understand the reasons some people send theirs out to a LA, I just can't bring myself to do it. The quilt doesn't seem like it would truly be mine if someone else did half the work. But to each their own for sure on this topic. Whatever works for you.

    I do my own quilting. I am retired and could not afford to send it out. I just take my time and try to do my best.

    I have this real handy and good quilter who does mine with a long arm I piece on the machine but haven't tried to quilt anything it's just so easy to bundle it all up and take to Betty I keep telling myself I will try and quilt a small project but haven't yet.

    I quilt all of my own quilts, either by hand or machine. I did a queen size flannel on a long arm after the quilt shop owner taught me how to use it! I rented the machine for the afternoon and got it done!! To this day, I wish I had a long arm, but really have no place to put it :cry: :cry:

    I can't man handle the bigger quilts! I can barely manage the binding once I get them back from the L.A. Besides she does an awesome job!

    I do all my own quilting. Can't afford to send them out because I do about a dozen large charity quilts a year. But, everything is done by my sewing machine. I do about half quilt as you go and the other half I twist and turn but get the job done.

    The "avatar" is the picture to the left. (mine is the La pic you see) If you go to "my profile" at the top of this page, scroll down till you see "Avatar", then you can download any pic you want. So, to make a long story short (LOL), her "avatar quilt" is the quilt in her "avatar" :!: :!:
