It is so important to complete your quilt in order to get enjoyment from it! Let me help you to enjoy your completed quilts. You will benefit from my experience in quilting over 850 customer quilts since I began this business in Sept. 2005. Superior™ Threads, Wonderfil™, and Aurifil™ thread are my threads of choice for quilting.

Waiting list:

There is currently a waiting list of  eight months for custom quilting and four months for edge to edge quilting. Please email or telephone to add your name to the 'list'. I do accept a few 'rush' orders but there will be an additional charge added if you choose this option.

My first quilting experience was in the early 1990's under the expert guidance of Sandy Small-Proudfoot. I completed a crib sized sampler entirely pieced and quilted by hand! As a busy stay at home mom to our four children I thought I would need to wait until I was a grandmother to engage in this fine craft. However I began to try machine piecing and reading everything I could find on the subject. My pile of quilted projects began to grow and I continued to feed my desire to learn more by borrowing every quilting book at my local library in Shelburne, Ontario.

Early in 1999 I joined a local quilt guild, Dufferin Piecemakers QG, and was both inspired and encouraged to refine my quilting skills. At the same time as I joined the guild my husband and I learned we were expecting our fifth child! With a ten year gap between our then youngest daughter and this baby I was brought back into the world of babies with surprise! Since my son's birth I have been able to continue quilting and have worked part time at a local quilt shop - Cobwebs & Caviar in Shelburne, Ontario. This has all been a natural progression to launching a machine quilting business in my home studio since I desire to be a stay at home mother to our youngest son.
