Even though it's only September I've already seen several Christmas quilts come through the studio from the renters and my customers. Will you be gifting quilts this year? If you are planning on having me quilt your Christmas gifts this year, you'll want to bring your quilt top to Quilted Joy by November 15. 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 November 15, 2017. If you drop off a quilt after the deadline I can't guarantee it will be ready before January 2018. Renters will still be able to rent longarm machines through all of December! Click here for more information on the longarm rental program. 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.
