Hopefully this is a popular well known quilter. My first custom quilt took over 4 months but it. was totally superb! And it was well worth the wait. The second one was an edge to edge but still took 3 months because they are so busy and a small shop. The third one I sent was to a lady that the day after I gave it to her suffered and ankle injury and it took about 10 weeks. She sent me a text to let me know, to be sure it wasn't an issue. She did a great job and one can certainly understand the reason for the delay. She also doesn't do anything during tax season. She would accept them, but tell people they won't even begin to be worked on until May. People are beginning to experience the Holiday rush to get it done so they can give them as gifts. It's too bad she doesn't say when she takes them in how many are ahead of you. It can save her a lot of questions.
