Re: long armers? save me!

Hey!
It's Moon over the Mountain! I am doing one like this also, and just
taking my time to do it as a take along project.

In four weeks I am taking the train to my father's 90 birthday bash.
Crochet, a couple books, and moon over the mountain pieces pre-cut
going with me. I have marked a bunch of dryer sheets with the moon and
mountain outlines, will sew them to batik pieces in the next few weeks
to simply turn them RSO and applique down on the trip.

The train trip back is 11.5 hrs long, and the ticket agent told me
today that particluar line is notiously late - anywhere from 1 to 8
hrs! My response? I'm not punching a time clock on this trip, this is
both to celebrate with my father and time for me.

I have a queen size quilt here (I can't remember the exact
measurements, but can provide if needed) that has become one of those
"I am never going to finish this" projects. It is all pieced, the
backing is ready, warm and natural batting is sandwiched with a
backing (pieced in three pieces), and I began basting it - ran out of
pins, bought more, ran out of pins again... at some point, I just
stopped basting it. Because of other recent life events, I am facing
the realization that there is no way I am going to finish this in the
near future (It was doubtful whether I would be able to successfully
quilt it on my little home machine anyway), and I would really like to
get it on my bed this winter. I don't visit local quilt shops often
enough to make it convenient to go discuss the possibility of one of
them quilting it. I'm wondering if there are any long armers here who
would be willing/wanting to quilt this for me (for a fee of course).
I don't think I took a photo of the finished top yet, but it looks
like this (this is a photo of the blocks laid out), plus I added black
borders:http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2683723600070246861XvijLe?vhost=...
I am really not picky about the style of quilting - at this point, I
just want it out of my living room and off of my conscious! Please
email me if you might be interested so we can discuss price, process,
etc. I'm in the directory. Disclaimer: since I don't know much about
long-arm machines and what your machines might not like, I'll just say
that the applique was done using freezer paper templates (since
removed of course), and with roxanne glue, which was hopefully all
removed as well). Obviously, I'll remove all of the safety pins I so
painstakingly stuck in.
