    Keep in mind that your LAQ is running a business. I'm sure she would rather hear from you now and be aware that she needs to make an effort to accommodate your needs than take a chance on alienating you and losing your business. I would call her and tell her, politely, when you need your quilt. If she tells you she can't have it by then, you may want to consider trying the other quilter you use. It is tricky to deal with this sort of thing once the quilt is give to the LAQ. Generally, it's a better idea to have a pretty clear understanding about the timeline for completion before you leave it to be quilted.

    I remain amazed at how hard piecers can be on long armers. Communication is the key, on both sides. None of us should be judging what is or has happened from here. JMHO

    Aren't you glad you called! You were much nicer than I would have been, but it paid off, and you'll probably get your quilt in time. And - it's a very pretty quilt!

    As someone who quilted for others (on a Bernina), I always appreciated knowing when a customer needed it by a certain date that I could then mark in my calendar. There are always other customers and charity quilts that come popping up unexpectedly with what I called "emergency" quilts!! Just give her a call asking her when should you expect your quilt to be done. If she has the reputation that I think she has, she will try her best to get yours done ASAP. Maybe see if you can come by to take a picture of the quilt and put that in an envelope for your Mother. I am sure she will be surprised! I know how disappointed you must feel but your Mother will always treasure the quilt.

    Wow! She was not being hard on the LAQ. The LAQ said she wasn't working on anything else and she's had the quilt since February. JMHO.
