Ok guys, it's time to talk Christmas. I know, I know, Labor Day was just a few days ago. It feels way too early to be thinking about Christmas, but humor me for just a few minutes. As a quilter for hire, Christmas is my busiest season of the year. It's also a very special time of year and we should all be spending time with our families. So that I may also enjoy Christmas with my family, my Christmas quilt deadline is October 31. If you're planning on gifting any quilts this year and would like me to quilt them for you, you will need to bring the tops to Quilted Joy by Halloween. Any quilts dropped off after Halloween will not be ready until January 2017. Renters will still be able to rent machines until we close for the holidays. We have two quilting treatments currently available: budget value meander and edge to edge quilting. Budget value meander quilting is the most economical and basic machine quilting service. It resembles puzzle pieces or a winding trail of thread working its way across your quilt top. This level of quilting is the least dense style. Edge to edge quilting is freeform artwork on your quilt. This is our most popular level of machine quilting service. Edge to edge designs start at one edge and continue to the other side regardless of blocks, seams, or piecing. This level of quilting adds wonderful texture to the surface of the quilt and allows the piecing to take center stage. We have dozens of patterns for you to choose from. When you drop off your quilt, we’ll look over the pattern choices so you’ll know exactly which pattern will be placed upon your quilt top.
