We are not limited to what you see on this site. If you have a photo or a link to quilting that you like, send it along! Some of my customers have very specific requests. Others often leave the choices to me. Please do not hesitate to contact me ahead of time to discuss your project. I would be happy to offer advice and suggestions.

Option 1: All-Over Freehand

All-over freehand is exactly that. The design is applied freehand over the entire quilt, and does not depend on the underlying piecing. Size and density can be adjusted to suit your project. Images can be recognizable, or stylized.

Meander	Loops	Double Loops
Water Stipple	Flames	Hearts and Loops
Spirals	Vines	Posies

Prices depend upon the density of the design, and range from 1¢ to 2¢ per square inch.

Option 2: Pantographs

Pantograph design (also called edge-to-edge design) is an all-over pattern applied by hand-guiding the machine from side to side, following a pre-printed pattern or template. Many designs undulate and interlock and will not look like "rows" on the finished quilt. I purchase pantographs from longarm suppliers or individual artists. The possibilities are endless.

Below left I am working at the rear of the machine using a pantograph. Notice the red laser dot which helps me follow the pattern. Below right is Pam's finished quilt.

I am willing to consider purchasing others if you have a specific request. Price per square inch ranges from 1¼ ¢ to 2½ ¢.

Option 3: Custom

This is my favorite thing to do! Custom work is based on the underlying piecing, usually with separate block and border treatment. Price per square inch starts at 2¢.

	This Irish chain was Nancy's first quilt! She selected feather wreaths for the centers and flowers running through the chains.
	Gretchen's updated batik log cabin quilt has pebbling at each "center" with radiating flame stitching.
	More great work from Gretchen. Each square has a big fun flower.
	Here is some nice corner detail in Kay's quilt.

Option 4: Miscellaneous Services

• Basting in preparation for hand quilting - Yes, I do that! Fee is ¾¢ per square inch.
• Completing UFO's (unfinished objects) - I do that, too! Customers sometimes ask me to finish piecing or to assemble quilt blocks that they have discovered at auctions or in Grandmother's attic. I charge an hourly rate ($20/hour) for this service, and would always want to discuss such a project with the customer first. Please feel free to call or email me.
• T-shirt quilts - These can present special problems. I quilt these only if the fabric has been stabilized with iron-on interfacing, and will use a freehand meander stitching pattern.
• Please note: I do not offer hand quilting or appliqué services.
