I have something to celebrate! This May marks FIVE years since our big move to The Netherlands. That’s five years of exploring a new culture, making new friends, learning a new language and savoring this lovely Dutch life. That’s also five years of finishing my quilts and yours on my American longarm machine, imported to Europe!

For all my readers in the European Union (and the UK and Switzerland too), I have a little gift to say thank you. It’s something that might encourage you to make time for what you enjoy and space for new ideas. Because I’d be delighted to help you finish a quilt and free batting may be just the push you need!

Starting today and continuing for one week, all orders automatically enjoy low-loft, 100% cotton batting for your longarm quilting project. Just order all-over or custom quilting, your choice, and you’ll receive free batting sized correctly for your quilt. That’s up to a €85 value, depending upon your quilt!

Wondering how quilting service works? There are two ways to start:

• Option #1 - place your order online. You’ll receive a confirmation email with my shipping address. When your quilt arrives, I’ll make suggestions for how to quilt your project, including several quilting design options and thread color ideas.

• Option #2 - contact me by email, including a photo or link to a photo of your quilt. Let me know if you’re more interested in all-over quilting or custom quilting. I’ll make quilting suggestions via email, including a fixed quote for any custom quilting.

I’m happy to quilt projects of all styles, so don’t be shy. My custom quilting style is not as detailed as some, but that does make it more affordable. And, best of all, my customers are happy to receive back a quilt that feels soft, not stiff.

It’s been a quiet month for longarm quilting, so at the moment my turn-around time is lightning quick!

Whether it’s your first quilt or your 32nd, I really enjoy being a part of your project’s transformation from a quilt top to a dimensional quilt, with a durable texture that adds to its charm.

Free Batting promotion extends to midnight, Friday May 31st. Even if your quilt is not quite ready to ship, you can place your order to reserve your savings and send your quilt top and backing my way when you can.

Can’t wait to see what you have in store for me!
