I am located in New York City so if you would like a custom quilt made from your old jeans or treasured textiles you will need to ship to me. If you are in the NYC metro area, drop off or pick up is possible. Or I can use my own fabrics. Either way, email patwig63@gmail and we’ll talk. If needed I use the service Shyp to deliver to you.
Timing depends on your project, which is unique. Of the quilts pictured below, one took little more than a week and one took three months. It also takes longer when there is a queue.
Pricing varies according to
fabric preparation (washing, cutting, ironing, stabilizing)
materials required (stabilizer, thread, cotton batting)
labor.
As of early 2016, my ball park pricing is:
♦ Smaller (baby quilts, throws, wall hanging) — $100-450 USD
♦ Larger (twin, queen, king standard size ranges) — $450 USD and up.
Here are samples of recent work:
Pat,
I am amazed and admiring of your color sense. Recycling clothing is such a wonderful path to creativity. Im a quilter also, and mostly work from new fabrics, but often I find really intriguing clothing at the local thrift-stores, which then become crazy quilt squares.
Do you have a formal education in the arts? Because it looks like it, having seen how and what you put together. My background is in landscape painting, with a lot of color theory—which serves me well in quilting and is my strongest asset.
Loved seeing your work and especially reading the story behind,
