I sat in the front breakfast area of the kitchen as the light is better there. I normally sit in the back of the house. I have no idea what was going on, but it was so busy with traffic today.
Next Thursday I am going down to the community centre to sew with a group of other ladies, I am not fussed about the company although it's always nice to chat to others. What I am doing it for is to be distraction free for a few hours. I get side tracked in the house with bits and bobs and I do want to get this quilt top done.
I do have a question for any quilters out there. I am thinking of getting someone else to do the quilting for me. Do you have any idea what I should be paying someone to do it, it's single/twin sized? I will of course provide everything, they just have to do the actual sewing. I'll even sew on the binding myself.
Had the music on today and this song came on:
I will admit to dancing along to this!!! Well not dancing, just swaying side to side!!! What an incredible woman she is.

I only wish I looked as good at my age as Tina Turner does at hers!
Your quilt is going to be smashing!
That quilt is going to be incredible. I look forward to seeing it when it's all done. Tina Turner is awesome.
Tina Turner is an amazing woman, that's for sure! Congrats on getting a good start on the quilt.
Can't help you with your quilt, but Tina Turner is an inspiration! I would love to dance to any of her songs.

Getting someone to quilt it can get very expensive. Long arm quilters usually charge by the inch. Why not ask at a quilting store and see if they know anyone who does it and give them a call. For me, I would quilt it myself. I've only ever got one quilt quilted for me and it was a quilt for dh for Christmas. It cost me $350.00 (yup expensive). The quilt I showed a couple days ago on my blog will probably be quilted by a long arm quilter. However the rest I do myself. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
We all have days when it seems a struggle to get going.
It's a lot of work, isn't it? I have never done one. It will look terrific, I think!
your quilt will be lovely, I've only ever made one baby quilt and quilted it myself on my machine, my first ever quilt! I've not made one since lol I found it hard but its all experience and practice.
Awesome quilt! And fun that you go sew with others! Love Tina Turner.
Tina Turner is great, Gill. I am enjoying your progress on this quilt.
Well, I seen this the other day...so I emailed a friend who sometimes had her tops quilted. She pays approx. $100 for a twin size with simple quilting such as meandering.
I think a lot of the longarm quilters do go by the square inch, and the degree of difficulty of the design chosen. BTW, it is looking good.
