However, we are not expecting customers to beat down the doors as Indiana is under a stay at home order!
Sew What!
Nonetheless, the first order of business will be to get through the approximately 30 days of longarming that we brought with us from Ohio! Each of these beauties will be mailed back to their owner via Priority Post.
You
can send us your tops and other layers via Post to the above address. We recommend sending them Priority Mail with signature required so that you can track them and send us tracking numbers via emails.
When we receive them, we will call you to discuss what you are expecting and/or we are recommending to be done. Then when we are finished, we will ship the quilt back to you in our normal fast turn-around with ultimate quality and care.

We wanted to keep the garage door so that our house would appear to have a garage, like all the other houses in the development.
In the first week the following was completed:
