I hope all is well with you and your family in this new phase of life we are all going through.    Stay home and Stay Safe is the new moto.

My Husband and I and my Mother are all staying home unless it is something vital.  We are well stocked up and doing well.  I have been getting to some business items that I have put off for sometime now.  I just finished creating new catalogs.  I was able to split off some larger catalogs and make them 2 that I hope will be easier to use.  I have also added some new ones and have retired some.  Enjoy looking through the changes.  

I am still working on quilting and so far it has been working out well to do drop off and pick ups at the front door for all my local customers.  How this will work is you will place your quilt etc  in a bag  with the order form. (You can download the order form //i.b5z.net/i/u/1428381/f/Order_form_2020.pdf)   We will still make an appointment time so I know your coming, when you get her just ring the bell and I will come out and get your quilt making sure we keep our 6 feet distance.   If you are not sure how you want your quilt done then I can choose for you as I do for many of my customers or we can do that part over the phone. 

I will email you a copy of your invoice so you know what the charges will be when it is finished.  When the quilt is ready to return we will do the same thing.  We will talk about payment methods over the phone. 

For all my Customers who ship to me every thing is the same as you have been doing.  return shipping times could start seeing some delays as noted from UPS etc...  So far things have been running very well.

We can also aways wait until life gets back to some kind of normal and that is fine as well.  Enjoy the process of making all those quilts.  It is good to keep busy as well as to slow down and just enjoy the process.  Take the time to do something you always wanted to try but did not really have the time to dig into the process.    I have been playing with my 12 needle happy embroidery machine,  just stitching designs out that I have had for years and never really had the time to do them.  I am learning more about my machine and loving it.  I may start trying to work on embroidery digitizing if this goes on much longer.

We don't really know how log this stay at home will be needed but one thing we do know is that it is working to a point and we are finding new benifits from just getting back to basics.  Learning how to connect with people again.  I have spent more time on the telephone with my long time girlfriends than we have in years.  It has been great to have those long long talks again.   

Our planet is also reeping the benifits.  With the world in a massive shut down the planet is recovering some - showing us it can be done.

I know many people are busy making mask for our health care workers,  My Mom and I have made some and hope to make more.  We have kept some for ourselves to use when we go to the grocery store.  This week we have seen others with mask on as well.  Facebook has a ton of links to some easy ones to sew.  You can't find Elestic anymore but you can make a bias strip to use in its place that works very well.

I have faith that this will get better but in the meantime please be safe and take care of you...... and yours.....  

I will try to post here more often just to keep in touch.

Thanks for everything

I will be open to accepting new customers for edge to edge quilting.  Life has reached a calm level and I am ready to get to quilting.

Thank you everyone for your understanding during the past 3 months while we adjusted to a new normal.

Just a friendly reminder to those who ship quilts to me that the order-form you download now has my home address on it,  Please make sure you make this change,  The Box has been closed.  For now the UPS store will hold things that come to it by mistake because they know me, however they do not call to inform me that I have something there and they charge me for every package that comes in.  At some point they will start returning them to you.    

I did keep this box open for a full 3 months to give everyone time to make the change,  If you have old oder forms please throw them away and print the new one found under the tab Quilting Prices, upper left hand corner at bullet list starting with order form.  Simply click on that and a window will open the order form as a PDF that you can print.

Thank you and Happy Quilting

A few updates- 

New patterns have been added,  It will take me some time to update the individual catalogs but I have put a section in for new patterns.

New order form - I have changed my shipping address back to my physical address.  With the rising cost of the UPS Box and now that my Husband has retired one or both of us are always here to accept packages.  We live in a very safe area and I have the informed delivery from the post office to let me know what is coming I feel confident that the change will be positive.

I am always trying to find ways to reduce my cost so that I may keep my prices for my customers down.   The UPS box is just one of those cost.  

I do carry a very small selection of 108 wide backing.  Mostly White and Black - It just is not feasible to carry everything so my focus will be on netural.

Batting,  I will continue to carry the 5 brands listed on the order form.  You are always welcome to supply your own should you have another brand you like.

Thanks you and Happy Quilting

This year I have been taking a little time off  on the weekends to get back into doing some quilts of my own and when I saw Cathy Wiggins offer this leather project I jumped into to learning something new.  I had a great time with this one and when finished I was encouraged to send it to the MQX Quilt Festival in Springfield IL where it won a 1st place ribbon.  I have since gone on to create 2 more leather quilts that I have designed on my own.  I will post them in the Gallery.

I have loved quilting from the day I started in 1997 and even though I don't get a great deal of time to work on my own I love working on your quilts.  I love quilts from simple to complex.  Each quilt has a story to tell so even if you are a beginner your love shows through in what you are doing.    Your quilts will be loved for years to come and what better gift to give someone.

Have fun and learn as you go.

I have just updated all my edge to edge catalog's and posted them on the website.  I was thrilled to find an easy way to print the catalog's again.  

This is one of my most time consuming task,  I normally add a few new patterns each month and it has been hard to keep the catalog's updated.  

hope you enjoy!

Thanks and happy quilting

I have listed my website in google maps however it shows up as a sewing company.  It seems that even after all these years Long arm quilter's simply have no category.  

Now I get asked all the time if I will make a quilt for hire.  I am sorry but I no longer have time to do that for other people.  It is that choose your Niche thing again and there just is not enough time in the day.  I do have a person that I can send you to if you are interested in having a T-Shirt quilt made and I do send work to her all the time in that area.

The main focus of my business is quilting the quilt tops that you have made.  I just love doing it and have been doing this since 1999.  I am now up to 3 computerized machines.  One Nolting and 2 Gammills.   Most of the quilting I do is Edge to Edge.  My general rule is that I scale the designs with no more that 2-3 inches left un-quilted.  I like scales that look realistic, so if that flower would be 2-3 inches in life that is what I want to see it on the quilt.   I can go smaller and/or larger if you like,  just make sure you tell me each and every time because as much as I would like to say I will remember, I will not remember who likes what each time.

I am still trying to shift my website searches back here to this site so again please be patient and just know I am still here, still working and still loving life.

Thanks and Happy Quilting

Oh My,  I feel as if I have come home again.   I have missed the friendliness and interaction with this website provider.  I simply feel more connected to my customers here.  If you had not noticed and do not know what I am talking about - about 6 months ago I changed to another provider and thought I really wanted to have an on-line shop.  Well I was quickly reminded that you really do have to pick your niche in this world and mine is quilting.  I leave the product sales to the quilt shops, that is there niche.  

I am glad to be home again here at Ebiz website and so very grateful that all my info was maintained during my absence.  I plan to close my other website just as soon as I can but if you want some great deals in the store part of it you can visit it at.  www.thequilterstation.com  - notice that sight only has on S in the name but I am the same person,  It may be a bit confusing until I get it all wrapped up.  I really am the same person on both sites.

Thanks so much for your patience and please feel free to send along as many quilts as you like and as often as you like.  Quilting is my passion.

Please Note: that my Shipping address has changed. See order form for shipping address.
my phycical address has remained the same but the shipping address is now a commerical address and more secure.

After taking a break from custom quilting service for about 2 years I have found that I miss the process.  I have also found that very few quilters are doing custom work anymore.  I just purchased a 3rd quilting machine that I am going to dedicate towards freehand custom quilting.  

I have spent the last 2 months refreshing my skills with my own quilts and am now ready to open the service to my Customers.   I do still ask that you also send me your edge to edge quilting jobs as well.  Custom work takes a good deal more time and skill and as much as I love the process it is really the edge to edge that feeds me and I really apprecate my loyal customers.

I am offering an introductory price as low as 0.055 cents a square inch for basic,  0.065 cents a square inch for simple.  Both basic and simple are completely free motion with little stitch in the ditch work.

0.095 Cents a square Inch for more involved quilting using rulers, marking etc.  I also have the ability to move the quilt to one of the computerized machines to pop in computerized designs as I see needed.

I spent over 10 years doing free motion quilting and won many awards as well did many of my customers.  I do love the artistic freedom of the process and look forward to creating a one of a kind quilt for you.  I Love feathers!

Happy Quilting

Rebecca

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
