Not to be a 'grinch',
but . . . LAQ (long arm quilters), need some "lead" time. My LAQ usually start receiving, Xmas quilts in Aug - Oct, then she can guarantee that clients will have them back to finish before Xmas. She is a busy lady, and has a family. So, us that use her know to get our quilts in EARLY, if we have a Xmas present.
We don't make larger quilts fast and most LAQ have more than just one client.
