Costs are determined by the complexity of the design(s). All sizes of quilts are accepted, including king size. I am happy to meet with you at no charge to discuss different design combinations.

I offer both hand guided and digitized patterns used for both edge-to-edge and custom designed quilting. There are many patterns available to choose from. The following websites offer a variety of computerized designs. And, if you don't find what you like, let me digitize a design especially for you. I can make a pattern that emphasizes a design in your fabric, or, something unique for that very special quilt!

Other Services:

Basting

If you would like your quilt basted so you can quilt ityourself, the charge is $0.01 per square inch. It will be sewn with a basting stitch in 6"-10" intervals - just enough to hold the quilt together.

Backing
I can prepare your quilt back too. I will sew, trim and iron your back to get it ready for quilting. A flat fee of $10.00 is charged for this service.
General Sewing
I can sew on borders, finish a pieced top and do general sewing to help you out. I can also make a complete quilt for you. We work together to decide on the pattern, fabrics and quilting design. The charge for this is $20.00 per hour in 15 minute increments.
T-Shirt Quilts
I also make tee-shirt quilts.  Visit my gallery (custom designs) for photos of my work.  I charge a minimum flat fee of $35.00 per shirt.  You provide the shirts, I will do the rest including: stabilizing knit shirts, provide the fabrics for sashing around each shirt block, border, backing, and binding.  Together we choose the fabric, batting, layout and edge to edge quilting design.  (If you provide the fabric, I charge $30.00 per shirt).  Want to do a combination or have a special theme in mind – let me know, I’m, flexible!
