Welcome
Thanks for visiting my webpage. It is always a work in progress. I update the pages regularly, including new photos to the gallery and new products offered in the threads & batting section. Please visit my "Quilting Tips" section where you will have access to some helpful information. I have added tutorials on piecing backs, estimating yardage and measuring and adding borders. I am working on a binding tips tutorial which should be added soon. So add my home page to your favorites and check back periodically.
The majority of my customers are just looking for a nice looking quilt job at a reasonable price, and today's huge variety of pantograph designs are perfect for this. A pantograph is a form of edge to edge quilting that is economical, but provides the ability to customize the design to the quilt, it's fabrics, or it's ultimate owner. Choose from traditional, contemporary or asian inspired designs. Theme designs cover a broad range of interests from gardening, sports, or dog toys, to sewing or even Mayan archeology. Also available are beautiful natural designs like leaves, trees, or flowers, or simple geometric designs such as swirls, square spirals, or basket weave.
Do you have a quilt top that you would like to have professionally quilted, or do you have one in progress that needs to be finished by a certain date? Give me a call. It is my business to help you turn your top into a beautiful, finished quilt for yourself or some lucky recipient to enjoy! I try to provide my customers with a fast turn-around time, usually 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of the job and the season.
Although my business is about 75% edge to edge quilting, I also do any type of freehand quilting, from simple meandering to custom designs. Please take a moment and view my gallery pages to see lots of examples of my work including some intricate custom designs, as well as creative meandering and pantographs. By viewing these photos, I hope you will get a sense of the broad range of quilting possibilities available for your project. Please feel free to contact me to discuss ideas for your specific quilt. In most cases I can give you quilting suggestions and a close estimate of pricing over the phone or by email.

Examples of custom forms of quilting can be seen in the Double Wedding Ring and the freehand McTavishing background filler.
Hot News - Update
I am now offering some of the new LEGACY line of battings from Pellon. These battings are really nice and very affordable. I am currently stocking the 100% Bleached Cotton, the 50/50 Bamboo/Cotton blend and the 80/20 Cotton/Poly blend. The Bamboo blend has been very popular. Bamboo has the advantages of being an Eco-friendly fiber that is softer than 100% Cotton, and it breathes, making it a wonderful choice for bed quilts. The Legacy line also includes more exotic fibers such as Soy and Flax and Linen, and will be available by special order. Please allow 4-6 weeks advance notice if you wish to try one of these battings.
