My Services
Cutting and Piecing:
I know that some of you like to do the quilting, but do not necessarily like the cutting and piecing of the tops. I can get those tops made for you to quilt.
Hand Quilting:
The hand-quilting cost of heirloom (or whole cloth) quilts typically runs quite
a bit higher than the hand-quilting cost of a patchwork quilts because the lines
of stitching are usually much closer together which greatly increases the amount
of time involved in completing the quilt. The average amount of time required to
hand-quilt a patchwork quilt might take anywhere from 2-4 months while a "whole
cloth" quilt might take 6 or more months to complete depending upon the detail
of the design.
The following are rough estimates (starting prices) of what you might expect to pay for hand quilted services

Quilt Restoration, Repair and Completion:
Yes, Edna’s Quilts will finish quilting a top that has already been started. $35.00 per hour plus materials for repair, restoration and/or completion of a quilt, quilt top, or project. Separate charges apply if restoration/repair/completion requires machine quilting, hand quilting, or binding.
Binding:
At Edna’s Quilts, I prefer to cut and make a French bias binding. You may provide the fabric if you wish; or I will use the fabric color that the quilt tells me it needs. A French bias binding is made from strips cut 2 1/4 inches wide, folded double right side out, sewn by machine to the right side of the quilt, turned and hand stitched to the back of the quilt. This provides a strong reinforced edge that will wear well.
Longarm Machine Quilting:
Longarm machine quilting is my specialty. I take pride in my workmanship, taking extra special care of your quilt while it is in my possession in my non-smoking location in Westminster, Colorado. Using my APQS MILLINIMUM long arm machine, I feature fast turnaround with hand guided free form quilting or, if you prefer I can do an all over machine quilting designs (pantograph patterns) most quilts are completed within six weeks time.
Basting service: .0075 per square inch for horizontal
and vertical basting at 3" intervals.
Overall pantograph quilting: .014 cents per square
inch (take width x length of your quilt)
Rush service: A rush service charge of 25% may be
applied at customer's request for faster service during holiday seasons.
Hand guided Free From quilting: .02 cents per square
inch (take width x length of your quilt)
Heirloom quilting: Heirloom Quilting uses multiple designs that are most often done freehand without the aid of pantographs or marking. The designs used consist of various forms of feathering, stippling and stitch in the ditch. These quilts require a large amount of time to complete. Starting price for Heirloom quilting is .10 cents per square inch. It also includes McTavinish style quilting.
Not included in the quilting prices are: batting, backing, binding,
pressing, seaming, etc.
There is a $40.00 minimum quilting charge on all orders which is for
quilting alone. Additional charges may be applied for batting, etc.

Quilt Training:
Beginner Quilting Class – class taught in 5 sessions, each session two hours long. Covers color theory, fabric selection, cutting, piecing, sashing, quilting and binding a quilt. Each phase of the quilting process is explained. Patterns are provided to illustrate each technique. The final product is a 45”x45” lap quilt. The beginner quilting class uses very basic forms of quilt patterns to teach three different geometric shapes. ($175)
Intermediate Quilt Class – taught in 3 sessions, each two hours long. This class examines more complex quilting patterns. It builds upon the concepts taught in the beginner quilting class. The objective of this class is to create a quilt using multiple geometric shapes to create an optical illusion. The size of the final product for the class will vary depending upon the quilt blocks used to make the quilt top. The intention is to make a full size quilt top for this class. ($175)
