Quilting Around the Block
Here's a link to a cool video using quilt blocks - grab a cup of coffee, tea or beverage of choice, sit down and enjoy - there is music so be sure your sound is on. http://blog.nfb.ca/2011/02/17/quilt-fever/
Welcome to Quilting Around the Block. Quilting is more than a job, it's my obsession! I began sewing for my dolls with a Singer featherweight (sure wish I still had that machine...) when I was 8 years old. I pieced my first quilt at sixteen, using scraps left over from my apparel sewing - cotton, corduroy, polyester, velvet - you name it - it went into that first quilt and, today, it would get a ribbon in the "Ugliest Quilt Contest"! I never made another quilt until well into my adult years and now I've been piecing and quilting longer than I care to admit. I've been finishing quilts on my longarm quilting machine in Richmond, Virginia since 2002.
My aim is to help you put the finishing touches on your piecework. I'll turn your piecework into finished quilts that will be treasured for years and generations to come. I recognize the enormous amount of time and effort it takes creating these tops. My pledge is to put that same level of effort and creativity into finishing your quilts.
I am available to pick-up and deliver, upon request, at the Richmond quilt shops, this is because most local residents drop off at my studio; however, I am happy to pick up at Quilter's Corner and Quilting Adventures when notified there's a quilt waiting!

Please contact me by phone or email if a quilt has been dropped off at any of the local Richmond quilt shops . My schedule for the remainder of 2011 is listed below.
Current Quilt Shop pick-up/drop off schedule: Quilts picked up one week are completed and returned the next scheduled Thursday (2 week turnaround) for allover edge to edge quilting, excluding Christmas season. Custom quilting and T-shirt quilts must still be scheduled in advance and will take considerably longer to complete.
If you wish to ship your quilt top, please enclose a worksheet (found under the Services Tab) and mail to address located to the left. Be sure to phone or email to notify me of an upcoming shipment.
2012 Pick-up and Delivery Schedule
January 2012: 5th, 26th (historically, January and February are slower months and I may pick up every 3 weeks rather than 2 weeks)
February 9th, 23rd
March 8th, 22nd
