I was wondering if anyone on here does finishing work? I have 4 quilt tops 3 of them are vintage that need to be finished. I do not want them finished to sell I want then to use. I have tried my hand at quilting but it is just not my thing. I become way too frustrated:) I have all of the material and batting to finish them. Most are full size I think. The local quilt shop has a lady who does it but we are talking about a 2 year waiting list!!! If anyone is interested or does this please email me so we can talk specifics. Thank you:)

Machine. most of the tops are done by machine, even the vintage ones. they are just vintage material.

I just bought a new long arm quilting machine I know it won't be 2 years but it will take some time to learn how to do it.
I found a lady in my area and there are always some one that is associated with a quilt shop that will do them I usually paid about 130 to 150 for a full/queen.
Call your local fabric shops they might help.

| Angela, in our area, there are churchs, that do it, actually the ladies groups. They use the money for fund raising. You might call around for churches that quilt. Just a thought! My MIL church use to do it. now all the ladies have passed, and she cant see good enough. I have 3 they have done and only charged 75.00 to do them and this was 4 years ago. I believe hand stitchin is becoming a lost art. Good Luck! Linda Farmgirl# 946 |

I do machine quilting. Nothing fancy but functional. I would like to see a picture of your quilt tops to know what kind of quilting they would need. Send an email to me and we can talk.

I had vintage quilt tops that I thought I would do myself but never had the time to do. I found a Mennonite lady to do my hand quilting. She has done 8 quilts for me and they are gorgeous. I still have more for her to do. I am so pleased with her work and now I finally have heirloms to give my family instead of a chest full of unfinished pieces. I just got a catalog from our community college and this time I am going to take their quilting class. Email me if you want more info.
