Hi Friends,
I hope your holiday season is off to a great start!!

Thank you for another great year!! I’m so grateful for my wonderful clients, and all of the beautiful quilts I’ve had the pleasure of quilting this year. Thank you, thank you!! Which means I have so many beautiful quilts to share with you all!

With a new year approaching, I decided to do things a little differently starting in January 2022. It’s been 9 years since I’ve upped my hourly prices, and thought it was time for a price increase. However I’m going to do things a little differently. Starting in January I will charge $40 an hour for custom quilting, with a $50 minimum. Edge to edge quilting will start at $.03 a square inch with a $50 minimum, and go up from there depending on the desired density. I already quilt edge to edge quilting at the appropriate scale for a quilt, however if you’d like something quilted more densely, that’s totally fine just let me know. (Which is when the price per square inch goes up to $.04)

Honestly… I’ve tried charging by the square inch before, but it was too hard to figure out what to charge for custom quilting, that’s why I stayed at an hourly rate. I’m hoping that separating how I charge for custom vs edge to edge quilting, will work out better.

Thread and batting are not included in the quilting prices. For more info click here: Longarm Quilting Services

I would love to quilt for you!! If you click on the link above, and scroll down, you can see a button that says “Machine Quilting Request Form”, which I linked, and a new window will open up. You will see a pdf, print it and fill it out, to bring or mail with your quilt. It really helps me to have the info about your quilts as I blog and share them on social media.

I’m also planning to quilt 3-4 custom quilts a month, along with all the edge to edge quilts I can fit in. To get on my custom or edge to edge list, you can text (if you have my number) or email me at quiltingit@gmail.com • My turn around times are typically 2 weeks, until fall when Christmas quilting starts. As of right now I have 3 custom spots open in January, and several edge to edge quilting spots still available. I will have more updates available in my Instagram stories @leishakaye of my quilting turn around. Please go follow along there.

Please let me know if you have any questions!! Thanks for being here! Here’s to a great 2022!

A couple of quilts I quilted edge to edge. Quilting details on these quilts, coming soon to my blog.

I quilted the rest of these quilts freemotion or freehand. Custom quilting is so much fun!!

Sometimes custom quilting can be light, like the quilt above. I used rulers, and it’s quite simple, yet the overall look is so fun! Just the right amount of quilting for this quilt.

When custom quilting I try to quilt something to enhance the fabrics and quilt pattern. Like the scalloped edge, which frames it nicely or the organic dense lines in hair and face. When it comes to custom quilting, it’s all about the details.

More of my work can be found in my work gallery and on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by!!
• Have a happy and safe holidays, Leisha
