My quilt was saved!!!
 

Before Christmas, I posted about a batik quilt that a highly recommended LA quilter completely messed up. The stitching was very uneven and there were huge holes from the needle. I was just sick about it because it was to have been a Christmas gift and there was no way that I could give it to anyone in the condition that it was returned to me. I don't think that I was ever so disappointed as I was when I pulled it out of the box. I did get a partial refund from the original LA but I wish now that I had pushed for a full refund.

The pictures of the truly bad stitching are here - http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...d-t168970.html

Aubrey, of Aubrey's Quilting Creations took the quilt, tore it apart and washed the top and back, and re-quilted it. I'm so pleased! The quilting is gorgeous and she saved the Christmas gift for my good friend. If I look closely, I can see the holes left by the first LA quilter, but Aubrey saved it!

Wow what a difference. Great gift now.

So glad it could be fixed. The first picture was unbelievable. Sorry you had deal with something like this. Your quilt looks great now.

One thing about uneven stitches, they are easy to take out! But a batik quilt is hard to get the needle holes out of, my hats off to Aubrey's Quilting creations!

Yay for Aubrey!!! That's wonderful that she was able to save it for you. It looks wonderful!! I know your friend will love it!!

Aubrey sure worked miracles on that quilt. I would not send a quilt out, I don't trust anyone after it would leave my hands. I don't do great work but, it is my work. I'm glad all turned out well for you anf the quilt.
Aubrey really did a wonderful job with it.

Oh I'm so glad your beautiful quilt was saved!

Great news! This quilt is a beauty and so glad it could be saved. I am so suprised that a longarmer would give you your quilt back with those huge holes and horrible quilting. Goes to show you not all quilters know what they are doing.

how wonderful!!!! i'm happy for you.

How wonderful it could be saved! Way to go Aubrey......it sure is a beauty!

So wonderful your quilt was saved. It is a beautiful quilt. Bad longarm quilters is why I bought a LA machine.

What a SAVE!! It looks fantastic! I bet you were overjoyed to see this beauty in its "new" condition.

Your quilt looks great now !! And yes, sorry you had to deal with that LA girl. Perhaps a washing or two, and maybe the fabric will be more forgiving. Thanks for Posting.

So glad this story has a happy ending. Congratulations to you for your persistence and to Aubrey for being able to fix it. I do hope you are sharing your experience with other quilters in your area about the first LA's quality of work.

Such a pretty quilt! I'm so glad Aubrey saved it for you. Excellent quilting job this time. I consider myself an amateur when it comes to the quilting part, but I can certainly do better than the long arm quilter did. I'd be ashamed to send it back to you in that condition, much less charge for it!!!! That was horrible!

That's so wonderful! I'm so glad it was fixed!! I'm sure your friend loves it!!

EXCELLENT job and thanks for coming up to help save the quilt. I can imagine the unpicking, and washing took about and if not more time than the quilting in the end. YOU ARE VERY KIND to have offered. Well done to you both

What good news. I'm so glad it could be saved.

Looks great now :thumbup:. The first quilter should have given you a full refund without hesitation and without being asked!

That is good news, and a great save! The quilt is very pretty, in spite of all the stress created by the first quilter.

looks beautiful

So wonderful that the quilt could be saved. Good news indeed!

The quilt is just beautiful
Have a Blessed day

When I saw the first pictures of the first quilting, my heart just sunk for you, I could feel your pain. But the new quilting is just beautiful.

Happy for you! So much work to be ruined like that!

I am glad to hear your quilt could be saved. From the photos in the original post, I was really not sure (and still scratching my head at how ANY quilter could return that to you in the condition the LA did.) It is a lovely quilt and I am sure the recipient will cherish it. A big round of kudos to Aubrey for saving the day!!!

Just beautiful. thanks for sharing. Am glad it was able to be saved.

I am so sorry that happened to you. However, I am so happy that it was saved, as it is truly a beautiful quilt.

I'm so happy it could be rescued. It has so much work done to it.

How Wonderful, miracles can happen. I glad it worked out for you, but agree I would ask for the remainder of my money back.

Aubrey sure saved the day. What a wonderful quilt. Can't believe the mess the 1st LA produced.

Beautiful quilt....so glad she could save it!

OMG I didn't see it the first time - what a mess! Thank goodness you found someone to fix and save the quilt!

Glad she could fix it.

I would never had thought your quilt could be rescued so beautifully Yeah to Aubrey Creations!!!

It is beautiful and I can see why you were sick at heart when the first attempt gave such poor results.
