    I am feeling good now with a few quilts finished and ready to be sent back to my customers. My baby deadline is creeping closer and I don't know how I am going to make every quilt deadline, but I am going to try. Custom quilt work is all I do and I don't know how to control my urge to just quilt everything! Help my urge! Just kidding, I enjoy it, but it does take a long time to quilt each quilt I put on the racks.

    This is Beth's quilt. She is an excellent piecer - the quilt is totally straight - especially the triangles in the corners of the blocks - they matched up perfectly! It worked really well with the technical quilting I did in this quilt. A lot of ruler work, stitch in the ditch, and connecting lines. I thought this would go by super fast, but each row of squares (14) took me an hour and a half and that's without stopping (add in the interruptions - sore back and feet) and it took a while. I was able to connect all the straight lines and connecting lines without having to start and stop repeatedly. The more you quilt, the better you get at figuring which way to quilt so you don't have to start and stop over and over again. I love it - makes life easier.

    Beautiful isn't a strong enough word to describe your work, but I can't think of a better one.

    I was thinking about buying a long arm quilter, checking prices, reading about different brands, etc. BUT then I read a thread on this board about how physically tiring it is to use one, and I changed my mind. I have Parkinson's Disease, which medication keeps under control most days, but what I read made me doubt that I would have the strength to use one. I have even more admiration for long arm quilters now that I've read about how long it takes to become skilled.

    What an absolutely beautiful job you did. How much do you charge?
