Hand quilting gives a softer feel to a quilt than machine but is a slow process and is what usually stalls many quilts from being completed. We do charge a reasonable fee but all money raised goes to various charities around Belleville. For more information and pricing please call Eastminster United Church at 613-969-5212.
