The great thing for you is that you truly can finish up quilt tops quickly when you want to, with the long arm machine available on a regular basis. I am just trying to learn the basics of machine quilting so I can finish a few a little faster than my normal hand quilting speed!audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-37993101582386124472019-04-02T17:36:42.108+10:302019-04-02T17:36:42.108+10:30And I thought having a longarm was the answer to u...And I thought having a longarm was the answer to unquilted tops!<br />Quayquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563998466278656599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-8985644763397702532019-03-22T07:18:27.482+10:302019-03-22T07:18:27.482+10:30You make beautiful quilts.

But I also agree with the comment that it is easier to store tops because they take up less space!

I feel like I must find a home for my finished quilts, and it's not always my house, as I simply don't have the room. <br /><br />I'm curious how you go about selling your quilts. Around here (California) its very difficult. Seems everyone wants a quilt, but they don't want to pay anything close to what they're worth. <br /><br />Your "family heirloom " quilts are spectacular!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926328455712508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-68188684185606170622019-03-20T13:05:11.954+10:302019-03-20T13:05:11.954+10:30All the quilts are beautiful!

I’ve gone through a lot of changes in the last few years with more family responsibilities so I’m not finishing as many quilts as I used to but we bought the longarm back to live with us last January (it was in our vacation condo for a few years as we did a couple moves) and I have a goal of quilting one top each week I don’t travel. It worked well for me last year and I’m doing it again this year but for the most part, I don’t worry about having finished tops - if something were to happen to me today and I couldn’t quilt any longer I’d have another longarm quilter finish a few for family and donate the other tops to a charitable cause.

But as you said if you enjoy doing a hobby, why stop? If you were a painter, would you stop painting because you did not have anywhere to hang more? I have lots of quilts that I want to make yet, but like you need to get to work on those waiting to be quilted, but the customers take priority here, (they pay the bills!)jude's pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279289787140525023noreply@blogger.com
