Need some inspiration. I have several quilt tops that need doing. I also have a tree skirt and a bunch of cross stich. I am stuck in a chair with osteoarthritis..

“I have several quilt tops that need doing.”

If you’re stuck in a chair it would be hard to put together the quilt sandwich — the absolute worst part of quilting.

I know people who send the top, batting, and backing separately to a machine quilter who assembles the three and bastes the quilt. It’s nice and taut. Then you can hand quilt in a hoop on your lap, or machine quilt.

I am tempted to try that, but it’s not cheap. (I am cheap - LOL!)

Do you have ‘good’ days? Maybe good days could be your motivator to work on a little something on those days? :)
