Would you like to commission
a quilt for your home or business
or as a special gift?
Here's how. I'd love to create a custom work of art for you or a loved one. I find the collaboration and co-creativity of this kind of work very satisfying. If you think this might be something that interests you, let's talk!
Here are some things to consider as we begin our conversation:
- Size
- Budget
- Color requirements -- it can be very helpful if you have swatches of the upholstery, floor and wall coverings, etc.
- Type of fabric you'd like
- Photos of the room or installation site, as well as other surrounding areas such as adjacent walls, other artwork, furniture, etc.
- What attracted you to my work? Are there any other pieces you like? Is there anything in those pieces that you'd like to see in yours?
- By when do you need the commission completed?
Here are some possibilities for you:
- Wall hangings of any size
- Functional bed quilts and throws
- Memory quilts
- Pillows
- Table runners
- Headboards
- Room divider screens

Timeline
Commissions generally take from 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the piece and on previously scheduled work.
