    I wish I could have found a place to quilt the two quilts I made for my grandsons. I almost fell over when I was given the price. The rates you included in your posting look great to me.

    Anyone living in my neck of the woods would think this was a steal! Go quick and get them done at this price!

    I guess it all depends on how much quilting you want to do. Some quilts are not worth paying $200 for the quilting and I would tie them instead. Not everyone has the funds to pay the quilter even though they deserve it.

    How do we contact the Menonites? I'd be willing to ship mine to them. For Queen size I have paid $383 to one lady and $251 to another and I just can't afford these prices since I retired. Especially since the price of fabric is going UP!

    They sound great to me. I paid $95 for a smaller than twin size and it was just meandering and I supplied the batting. That is why I am practicing my own quilting by machine.
