Binding Services
My binder, Jan, offers hand-binding services. I make arrangements with her for quilts that need bound, and you simply pick up your completed quilt from me. However, she is paid separately from me. She accepts cash and check payments, and those can be left with me at the time of quilt pick up. Please provide your own fabric for binding.

Stipulations
Full payment is required upon completion of the project.
The service provided is meant to enhance your quilt designs; it cannot make corrections to an individual's technique or piecing. If your quilt is not square, there may be a risk of wrinkles in your quilt. If you have puckers, you will also have puckers in the finished
project.
Your quilt may be photographed for use on the website and/or social media posts.

Forms of Payment
I accept checks (made out to Quilts by Kristy) and digital payment (Venmo, Zelle, and Apple Pay). I can also accept cash.
Rush Orders
Because life is unpredictable, sometimes it’s inevitable that a client needs a quilt “rushed,” or quilted in a time frame shorter than my current turnaround. It’s not fair to bump other clients already in my queue, so a rush job requires me to work extra hours, usually overnight. The additional charges for a rush order are listed below.
Crib | 2200 square inches or less | $20
Twin | 6300 square inches or less | $30
Full | 7500 square inches or less | $40
Queen | 9000 square inches or less | $50
King | larger than 9000 square inches | $60

Quilting Accessories
Quilt Rack (SOLD OUT)
My father keeps busy in his retirement with woodworking, and one of the items he makes is a quilt rack. It is made from natural solid oak with a polyurethane finish. It measures 66” tall, 25.5” wide, and 22” deep and has rungs for 5 quilts (although I layer quilts on top of each other so mine typically holds 10). He is selling them for $250 and is happy to deliver it within the Bloomington/Normal area.
Quilt Ladder (SOLD OUT)
My dad has been busy in his workshop this winter! He modified his traditional quilt rack design to create a quilt ladder.
These are available in two sizes, a 6 rung and a 5 rung ladder (see specific dimensions in the photos). Both are 25.5” wide. These are made from poplar wood and are painted white. The top and bottom of the ladder are angled to securely lean against the wall. He is asking $125 for the 5 rung ladder and $135 for the 6 rung. Free local delivery.

Sewing Table (SOLD OUT)
This 26" high folding ironing tray table is built completely out of solid oak. The tray top is framed with 1/4" deep border which is sized to snugly hold a June Taylor JT-705 "Cushioned Quilter's Square n' Blocker" without any slipping. Flipping the blocker over makes a good surface for a 18x24" rotary mat. The design employs a center hinge rod placed 12" above the floor which allows you to place your feet between the legs without kicking a cross member. It is finished with a clear polyurethane finish. Cost is $175 for the tray and $195 for the tray and the June Taylor cushioned mat.
