We offer longarm quilting services - both all over designs and custom quilting. We also quilt T Shirt Quilts. Prices vary as to the size of your quilt, the density of the design, and customization. Bring your quilt top in, we'll look it over and visit with you about it, then come up with a perfect quilt design to make your work of art an amazing finished quilt.

Binding
5 Yard Quilts
5 Yard Quilts
Quilters either love binding a quilt, or don't love binding a quilt. If you don't love it, we can do it for you! We'll add a machine sewn or hand sewn binding, which ever you prefer.

5 Yard Quilts
The Pattern series, A-OK 5 Yard Quilts use 5 - 1 yard cuts of fabric. We've done the work for you, and have 5 co-ordinating fabrics put together. For $58.00, a pattern is included with 5 yards of fabric, and you get to choose it!
We've made all of the quilts in the series, and they are displayed throughout our shop. Each pattern is written simply and easy to follow, and sews up quickly. A generous throw size when finished, they are perfect for gifts!
An Official Quilts of Valor Foundation Chapter
A local chapter, this growing group makes quilts for veterans in the Rock County Community. Quilts are made and awarded in a moving ceremony to veterans by nomination. Red, White, Blue, or Patriotic fabrics and financial gifts can be donated and are collected in our quilt shop. Always accepting new members, more information is available by contacting co-ordinator Sharon Clark at skayclark1951@gmail.com. See qovf.org for more information on the national organization.
