Quilt Commission
I’m pleased to begin a journey in quilting a special quilt for you!!! A custom quilt with unique design, color or portraits will add atmosphere and tranquility to your home or office.
The Process
A commissioned quilt request starts with a short interview with the customer about size, occasion, the theme and color scheme of the quilt. Please complete the Inquiry Form to get started. Once a quilt design is agreed upon, payment is required up-front. The timeline is based on workload and can be from 4 to 8 weeks.
To further help understand the process of completing your quilt; please review the frequently asked questions below. Please get in touch if you have additional questions or when you are ready to discuss the specifics of a commission

We draw up a commission agreement for every order. The agreement clearly states details including the design, size, colours, quilting pattern and thread colour, type of batting, backing fabric, delivery date and postage costs so that you know just what you’ll be getting.
-
Not identical because customization and hand-sewn means each quilt will be unique. We keep to the spirit of the original, but fabrics go out of print quickly and dye lots vary, so the fabrics and colors may vary from those shown.
-
YES! Contact me here and we can talk about designing a one-of-a-kind or site-specific quilt to suit your needs – there will be an added design fee to create illustrations of multiple options based on your needs and budget. If you want to proceed with one of those options, we then draw up an agreement and make the quilt.
-
Custom quilts are each made to order, so all sales are final. No Returns.
-
Custom commissions orders must be prepaid. I will send you an invoice via email for payment, before work commences.
Your finished custom quilt will be posted, registered and will require a signature for delivery. The postage and any associated insurance costs will be added to the cost of the quilt.
