Longarm Quilting Services

Hello! I'm Melonie

Are you looking for someone to finish your quilt? I am here to help! I am located in Fort Worth, Texas. Live out of state? Don't worry! I accept mail-in AND local quilts.

The quilting is my favorite part of the whole process. I have pieced many quilts so I understand all of the hard work and considerations that go into making a quilt top. Rest assured that I will take the utmost care when finishing your project.

As your quilter, my goal is to enhance your quilt top with stitching that compliments the design of the piecing. The sizing and density are carefully chosen and customized for each quilt.

I can't wait to see and hear about your amazing project!

FAQs

Of course it is!! This is a judgement-free zone. Even if your quilt top isn't "perfect." (**headline** no quilt is perfect, that's what makes them unique!) If someone is judging your quilt piecing, I would like to have a heart-to-heart quilty word with them. Just focus on the fact that in the end, you will have a beautifully finished quilt for all to enjoy!
It almost feels like you are sending your baby off to their first day of school! I understand. But please know that I treat every quilt with the utmost care. I am a quilter and understand all of the hard work that goes into the process.
I will communicate with you the whole way. I will let you know the second it arrives. You will receive progress photos from when it gets loaded onto the longarm to when it gets boxed up for its travels back to its forever home.
I typically quote a 2 week turnaround time. This may fluctuate during the busier times of the year but I try my best to stick to a 2 week time-frame.
Don't worry about a thing! If it is overwhelming, I can narrow it down to what I feel are a few great suggestions (based on the design of your quilt top) to choose from. Or, if you prefer, I can completely surprise you with the design and thread. I want to take the time to make sure you are thrilled with the finished product.
