You are paying her for a service. If you were having remodeling work done in your house, wouldn't you like to know when they will start and the approximate date it will be done? You do not have a friendship relationship with this LA quilter, why tip-toe around her?

I'd say call. You are paying her and have the right to call. Seems like she mislead you in the first place. If you can't get a time frame and if you do and it is not in your time frame, pull your quilt and go someplace else.

I don't know, maybe I'm a bit weird lol. I do LA quilting. I don't like to have a pile of quilts stacked up in my studio. I don't have move than 3 quilts here at a time. I feel like the quilts should stay with the owner until I can get to them lol. I give the customer a time frame of 2 weeks but might have it done in three days. I like to say two week in case anything comes up and I don't like to rush. I usually start the quilts right away, just in case.
I never do rush jobs, too much stress and things can go wrong. I play music and quilt to it so it is an enjoyable experience for me.

I would definitely call her and inquire as to why it is not finished yet. I don't think that is offensive. You are paying for her services and if she has had it since Feb. then she has had enough time to finish it.

As a general rule for everyone who sends quilts to LAQers it is a good idea to set a deadline date for finishing. Your quilt will end up on the bottom of the pile with out a date and it can happen several times before they get to it in some spare time, cause time is money. (Not all LAQS, but enough to make it worth having a deadline)
It is a good lesson.
