Square Inch Price
Edge to Edge Quilting
Most edge-to-edge designs are 3¢ per square inch (psi)
For example: your quilt top is 60 inches by 80 inches = 4800 sq in
4800 x 3¢ psi = $144
I have a small selection of designs for 2¢ and 2.5¢ psi (very simple designs) as well as some that require advanced precision/alignment that are 3.5¢ psi.
My hope is to offer designs for every budget and purpose.
Minimum quilting charge is $40. For small projects, the psi price will be rounded up to the $40 minimum.
You are welcome to combine smaller projects on one backing to count as one project.
Discounts
15% Discount to New Clients (for your first quilt with me)
15% Discount if you bring/send me 3 or more quilts at one time(custom quilting and budget designs are not subject to discounts)
*prices are in Canadian Dollars
Light Custom Quilting
Starting at 4¢ per square inch, pricing is dependant on design choices, quilting style, intricacy and time.
I do limit intake for custom quilts each month from January to October.
November and December are the busiest months for me. *Therefore, I do not provide custom quilting during those months.
Please contact me in advance should you need custom quilting.

Batting
As a convenience, batting is available in my studio for purchase.
You are welcome to provide your own high quality batting.
I typically stock and use Hobbs 80/20 cotton/poly batting (96" and 120" widths)
And Arctic Cotton Bamboo Blend (96" width)
Batting cost:
Hobbs 80/20 96" - 45¢ per linear inch
Hobbs 80/20 120" - 50¢ per linear inch
Arctic Cotton Bamboo - 48¢ per linear inch
For larger quilts, I do have Hobbs 80/20 blend precut (120" x 120") for $60/pkg
I can easily make arrangements for other batting if you would prefer.
Please let me know when you book your quilt.
Batting costs are calculated by the linear inch.
I will only cut what is needed for your quilt (smallest side + 5") and charge per linear inch.
Examples:
If your quilt top is 60" x 80", I will cut 65" of batting.
65" (96" wide batting) @ 45¢ per inch = $29.25
If your quilt top is 80" x 98", I will cut 85" of batting.
86" (120" wide batting) @ 50¢ per inch = $42.50
*Batting is a separate charge and is NOT included in the square inch price.
Thread
My personal style attempts to match or blend thread colour with the lighter (or focal) areas of your quilt.
From experience, I find this gives the best results.
If you have something else in mind, please let me know.
Sometimes it looks best when the thread intentionally pops!
Your quilt deserves quality thread.
I quilt with Glide (40 wt), So Fine (50 wt) and Botton Line (60 wt).
I don't charge extra fees for thread use.
It is included in your square inch price.

Photography
I'm not a professional photographer. I wish!
But I do my best to take "nice" photos of your quilt. :)
Upon completion of the quilting, I will take photos of your quilt in my well-lit studio.
Please, let me know if you would like copies of them.
I am happy to share those images with you to use however you would like.
I just ask that you credit me for the photo/quilting if posting publicly.
This extra service is also included in your square inch price.
As well, I will ask you if I may share them on my own social media and how you would prefer to be credited for your work.
How to get your quilt to me
If you live "local" (such a loose term when living in the great white north!), you are welcome to drop it off at my home studio in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Another option is to drop it off at Around the Block Quilt Shop in Beaverlodge.
Just make sure to clearly label your quilt with your name & phone number and have it in a clear, homemade or otherwise noticeable bag (NOT a black garbage bag - this is never a good idea!)
I also accept mail in quilts for those of you that live further away.
Ensure that your quilt top is protected from any possible moisture during transit and then placed in a cardboard box.
As a convenience to you (and to reduce shipping fees), you are welcome to purchase batting from me.
Return shipping: I will send your quilt back to you in the same manner described above via Canada Post (using flat rate when possible/economical). I will provide you with a tracking number and charge you the Canada Post rate plus $5 for handling.

Complimentary Trimming
I offer complimentary trimming of your quilt. I feel this gets your that much closer to finishing it.
Let me know if this is something you like me to do or if you prefer to do for yourself.
* if your quilt has borders that are anything but square/rectangle, I prefer to leave the trimming to you.
Pressing & Trimming Threads
Should your quilt require extra attention prior to loading, there may be additional charges. I'll let you know in advance!
