If you have a favorite quilt or found Granny's quilt top in the attic and want them fixed, give me a call. I repair old quilts and tops, quilt them and replace worn bindings. I will also repurpose old quilts for you into other useful or decorative items, if the quilt itself is beyond repairing.
I use vintage fabrics when they are available from my stash, or reproduction fabrics in the period of the project.
We will discuss the cost of the repair after I look over your quilt. I am very reasonable because I want to save the quilt, and make you happy in doing so!
Here are some samples of my work.
