2 - Simple construction –
I charge $30 per hour + cost of materials for a basic simple quilt construction. A simple construction with basic design can
take 10-15 hours or more depending upon how complex the piecing.
Following construction there is an additional quilting charge per square inch and charge varies by complexity of the design.

Quilting is an additional charge based upon complexity. Varies from .015 per square inch (basic
meander) to .12 per square inch (heirloom)
You buy the quilt
store fabric in the required yardages and will include fabric for
backing and binding (fabric typically runs about $10-$15 per yard), I use
batting and thread from my studio, and the artistic service to pull it all
together in a design of my own
choosing. I will work from a
pattern of the client’s choice if quite simple. Quilting is artistic and there are many variables and levels of
intricacy involved.
For an extra $50 charge (this is a fee for my time) I will
help you with coordination and selection of fabrics and I will help you with
amount of yardages to complete the quilt based on size. Price varies by type of quilting desired.
Simple meander or simple edge to edge is .02 per square inch. Prices are by finished
square inch size. For embroidery, and
for custom quilting there is an additional charge.

3 – Life event and memory
quilts:
Want to celebrate someone’s special day or preserve
reminders of life events? I can provide
pre-cut muslin squares with instructions.
You then give the squares to people to create a personalized quilt square. I take it from there. You can preserve
certain stages of a child or loved
one’s life by having a quilt made from their clothing. It’s fun for them to see their loved items
reappear in a quilt. Just bring your
items to me and we will find a way to include it in the quilt. By consultation only. Pricing varies
because of the hourly charge.
Option
4 – Memorial
quilts:
Memorial quilts are art quilts that are completely
customized paths to comfort and
provide peace and joy in the memories and
moments contained in the quilt. Many
people use these quilts to memorialize a loved one who has passed on. By using articles of
clothing or other fabrics associated
with the loved one, it completely transforms the quilt in
something magical. Each quilt is unique
and reflects both the loved one being memorialized and the recipient of the
quilt. I try to gain understanding
of both the person to whom the
quilt is given and the person being remembered when
I consult with you. The result is a
beautiful piece of fabric art which will be cherished and loved for years to
come.
