Montana Review

Dear Dawn,

I have been so busy with haying & farm chores that I forgot to write and thank you for your work on the quilts.  The baby quilt was tremendous, I loved the looseness and suppleness.  It was just what I was looking for.  The Laurel Birch turned out lovely.  I really like the patern and the multicolored thread worked out better than I expected!  Once again, than you for your wonderful work!  Valene (Montana)

Reviews from our Customers

Dawn,
My quilt looks absolutely, positively amazing!  You took a simple, simple quilt and made it into a work of art!!!  Even my husband texted me pictures and said that the pictures don't do it justice, and that it looks "freaking awesome"!! 
I am so very excited that you have brought this much needed type of service to Marion/Cedar Rapids. I will DEFINITELY be calling you again!

Introducing - Vintage Corner!

We are having so much fun with searching and discovering unfinished vintage quilt tops!  These snapshots in time have been given new life with fresh new batting, backing, binding and beautiful custom machine quilting.  I love to imagine what the original quilter vision for their quilt might have been and to bring their work to fruition.  These quilts are so very special, soft and reflect lots of love from their original creators, it has been a privilege to put the finishing touches on them.
