Please stop by and see us and order a barn quilt, buy one from our inventory and also check out our daughter Sam's pretty Burlap Wreaths for your home. She does a great job and will have a good supply on hand. Hope to see you there!

FOR OUR CUSTOMERS INFORMATION

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! This past year we have been very blessed with a good number of orders and we thank our past, present and future customers for allowing us the honor of making you one of our barn quilts. We have had many repeat customers and we are very grateful to you!

This post is to also inform our customers and public about the making and ordering of our barn quilts.

I complete the BQ’s one at a time and in the order they are received. I’m not a factory and can only work as fast as time and my standards of workmanship will allow. At the time of ordering I can give an estimated time of delivery but, please understand that this is an estimate and it may and probably will vary depending on what life throws at me between time of order and completion. I will always try and complete all orders in a timely fashion while ensuring the highest standards of workmanship. No matter how fast I paint, barn quilting will never qualify as an aerobic exercise.

I am also NOT a graphic designer, have not been trained in it, nor pretend to be. I prefer to make established, traditional, old time quilt block designs, BUT, will also try and attempt to make custom designs that fit your needs. If I feel like I cannot accomplish this then I’ll give you notice.

Your business is very important to us and we greatly appreciate the confidence you put in us to create a product that you will enjoy for years to come.

Due to the volume of increased orders we have had from year to year, we will be limiting the number of shows and events that we will have our booth set up each year to only two or three. Two events for sure that we will try and attend will be the Prairieland Heritage Steam Show in Jacksonville, IL. the last weekend in September and also the River Country Quilt Show the last weekend in July. We may squeeze a third event possibly in the Spring time.

This year we will also need to put a cutoff date for anyone wanting a BQ by Christmas. The last date to ensure you get yours by Christmas will be Sept. 30th.

Again, we thank everyone for your business and taking the time to check us out. God has greatly blessed us with a wonderful variety of clientele and we have made a number of new friends. We really enjoy meeting all of you!

Barn Quilting is cheaper than therapy! God bless!
