Design Services for donation quilts

A large travel themed quilt may be daunting for a single quilter, however a group of quilters can work together to create a striking quilt that will raise funds for a charity in your area.  My Willow City Loop quilt sold at auction for $5,200 on May 4, 2013, to benefit the Willow City Volunteer fire department.   If I'm in your area lecturing or providing a workshop, I could work with you to develop a quilt for your region.  Or we could collaborate remotely to develop a design that a group of quilters could accomplish.  Cost would be negotiated but similar to the cost of a lecture or workshop (depending upon the complexity of the project.) 

Design Services for Store Owners –

If you’re in a tourist area, I can provide a custom design that celebrates your region’s landmarks and uses fabrics that capture images of your area.  Visiting quilters often look for patterns that represent the region they are visiting.  I can design a pattern that can be sold through your shop.  It can be a stand-alone pattern, or can be packaged with fabric to create a convenient kit for your visitors.

I also have several patterns that are perfect for use with motif patterns and can be used with fabric you stock.  The smallest is great for theme motifs (such as kitchen or botanical prints) and can be used for a wall hanging.  It is also suitable for baby quilts.  These simple patterns are perfect for creating kits or for beginner quilt classes. 

Custom patterns for quilt shop workshops

I can teach the travel themed workshops at a quilt shop.  If desired a workshop design will be developed using the shop's fabric and themes from your area.  An example shown was developed for Annie's Quilt Shoppe in Shelton, Washington.  Students can complete the quilt as designed, or use it as a basis and incorporate their own elements.
