Custom-made Bed Quilts

“Custom-made” means making a quilt for you “from scratch” and can cost upwards of $300 for a baby quilt and upwards of $1500 for a single bed quilt, depending on the fabrics used and the complexity of the design. Charges are by the hour and an estimate can be provided. Read More

Commissions (Art Quilts)

Commissioned art quilts are usually wall quilts ranging from very small landscapes to large abstract wall-hangings and/or installations. Sometimes, fabrics need to be hand-dyed or painted for these works of textile art. Some hand-quilting and/or embroidery can be done, in small amounts. Read More
