I've waited much longer for quilting to be done. It has not bothered me because it was not a gift, nor did I need it for a specific reason. When I must have it by a certain time I make sure she knows that beforehand.

That being said, one time I foolishly left a quilt for an estimate... Waited patiently for her to get back to me, and when she did the quilt was quilted and I had a bill that was 3 times what my guesstimate was! No estimate, no discussion on what I wanted, nothing. To say the least I was very upset. When I asked why she had not given me the estimate before continuing she said she had time so just did it! I learned not to trust a new person until I know how they do things. I don't mean to be badmouthing quilters, most are great. Just proceed slowly until you get to know her and she knows you! Go ahead and call if you,re uncomfortable.
