I am currently not accepting commissions.
I am currently working on several projects and cannot take on more at this time. I do have several quilts for sale, ranging in price from $300-$600. If you are interested in purchasing a quilt or would like to be contacted when I am accepting commissions again, please click here.
I expect to resume commissioned work in 2021.
From time to time, I have room in my schedule to take commissions. If you are interested, please contact me here to check my schedule. if the timing is right, I would love the opportunity to make a quilt for you! Please take a look at the quilts in my gallery to get a feel for the type of quilts I make.
WHY DO I ASK YOU TO CHECK OUT MY QUILTS FIRST?
The quilts you see in my gallery are a sampling of my work chosen to give you an idea of my design aesthetic. There are certain types of quilts I do not have the space or equipment to make and there are some types of quilts I just prefer not to make. Making quilts a labor of love and while I thoroughly enjoy making the quilts I love; I have found that there are a few things I just don't like working on, so I've chosen to decline those types of commissions going forward.
. My work usually includes:
1. Modern Quilting elements including:
3. Solid fabrics, tone-on-tone prints, low-volume prints, blenders, basics, small prints
4. Linear or geometric quilting
Things you will not see in my quilts:
1. Traditional designs in traditional layouts, shabby chic, flowers, childlike designs, applique, fussy cutting
2. Primitive colors, Civil War, or other historical era colors & prints
3. Flowery prints, paisleys, baby or child prints, ornate prints, media prints (Disney princesses, cartoon characters, etc.)
4. Old clothes or photographs printed on fabric (I will make *limited* exceptions if the clothing is 100% cotton or if the fabric the photos are printed on is high quality such as Kona cotton.)
5. Free-motion quilting (this is available at an extra charge and will add several weeks or months to the due dateas your quilt will need to be sent out for longarm quilting.
Quilts I do not make:
1. Rag quilts
2. T-shirt quilts
3. Quilts using old clothes made from materials other than 100% cotton cloth
4. Quilts using embellishments
5. Memory quilts

If the items in the first list appeal to you, fantastic! Let’s get started! Please continue reading the information on this page.
If you’re more intrigued by the others, then I may not be the right quilter for you. I am happy to recommend quilters who may better suit your design aesthetic if I know any. Please click here to request a referral.
HOW IT WORKS
First, we discuss your vision, specifically theme and color. It’s OK if you’re not certain about anything. I will help you every step of the way. Of course, it’s great if you know exactly what you want..or anything in between!
Once I’ve got an idea of what you’d like, I will send you a design proposal including inspirational photos and three design options and color palettes. (The first proposal is with my compliments. There may be a charge if additional proposals are required.)
After a design is selected, a quote will be submitted with a 50% deposit required up-front. The balance is due upon completion, prior to shipping. We can also work out a payment schedule if that's easier with the full balance due prior to shipping. My turnaround time is typically 8 to 12 weeks. This is based on the complexity of the quilt and my current workload. Additional things that may effect this time frame are:
Production time will be estimated on a per project basis.
A FEW WORDS ON PRICING
I do not offer ‘ballpark’ quotes. No two quilts are the same and pricing is based on a number of things including, but not limited to:
My quilts are one of a kind, modern, heirloom quality and 100% handmade by me. (The only exception is if you want the quilt sent out for longarm quilting.)

- custom quilting that will require the quilt being sent out for quilting (this will also increase the cost significantly)

A FEW WORDS ON PRICING
I do not offer ‘ballpark’ quotes. No two quilts are the same and pricing is based on a number of things including, but not limited to:
- the cost of materials
- I use only quilt shop quality cotton fabric, high quality thread, and a luxurious batting consisting of a bamboo, silk, organic tencil, and cotton blend. 100% cotton or wool is available on request.
- I'm also thinking of adding a batting made from recycled plastic bottles.
- I do not use poly or poly blends, unless the quilt is a wall-hanging.
- a limited selection of organic fabric and batting may available upon request (Please understand that these materials are much more expensive and will greatly impact the price of your quilt.)
- I use only quilt shop quality cotton fabric, high quality thread, and a luxurious batting consisting of a bamboo, silk, organic tencil, and cotton blend. 100% cotton or wool is available on request.
- complexity of the design and whether it is original or from a pattern
- complexity of the quilting motif
- estimated time needed to complete the quilt
