Reputable quilters?

Good evening, I got married on September 6th and I am now looking to have my wedding dress made into a quilt. I hate the idea of my dress sitting in a closet for the rest of my life so I thought this would be a neat way of displaying it. It wouldn't be a full sized quilt, just big enough to be a wall hanging. I'm nervous about who I give it to so I was wondering if anyone knows of a quilter that will do a good job. Maybe even someone who specializes in wedding dress quilts or at least someone who has some experience with it. I'm in the Lancaster/Lebanon/Reading area but would be willing to work with someone outside of the area also. Thanks in advance!

    I had an amish lady that lives near by finish a quilt 2 years ago for my mother that my grandmother had started. I was really nervous about who I got and I had talked to this women she is super sweet. Her sister does the beginning and she finishes doing the actual quilting part. She was so fast it was unreal and this is what she does for a living. Her sister didnt touch my quilt since my grandmother had already started it but she did an excellent job and my mom loves it. She lives in Perry County so that may be a little bit of a distance. I am sure you could find an amish lady in Lancaster as well.Hope that helps! If you need anymore info let me know!

    This might be a stretch, but there is an Arts & Craft show in Shafferstown this weekend...lots of quilters are supposed to be there. Maybe you can go and scout out a quilter. :o)http://www.eventlister.com/E1261579/Distelfink+Country+Christmas+-+Schaefferstown%2C+PA
