I am a beginner, and would like to pay someone to do the topstitch quilting, on some of my quilts that would be enhanced by detailed quilting. I do not have the room, talent, or machine to make this possible. But I know people send things away to be quilted, but where. I live in Chicago.

Ask at your local quilt shop(s). Most local quilters have a good relationship with the quilt shops, and some even use the quilt shop as a go-between with their customers. All of my local quilt shops either accept quilts for the quilters or do quilting themselves.
Check the websites below for possible quilt shops in the Chicago area.
Also, the International Quilt Festival is coming up in mid-April. It's in Rosemont, and you really should attend. If at all possible, try to get there during the day on Friday, for the smallest crowd. Friday evening and Saturday are unbelievably busy. There are three parts to the show - classes and workshops, quilt displays (they're incredible - you really won't believe your eyes), and vendors. We spend three days there every year. Check the last link for more info.

It may take some time, but start calling your local chuches and senior centers. Where I live there are quilting bees that meet once a week. They are always looking for quilts to do, and their prices are REALLY great!
