Why buy a kit when you can have the piecing done for you?? Let us do the hard part!

The main fabric in this top has such amazing design!!  The fabric doesn't really give it justice because it is truly amazing!! This top is nearly 80" square!  It does not come with the border.

My husband and I make each and every top that is in our store.  They are NOT manufactured or made overseas.  We use 100% cotton and strive to make a quality American product.  Shipping usually takes approximately 25-30 business days as these are not made ahead of time but as ordered.

My dear customers:  Many of you have become like family and we love making these tops for you.  I wanted to make you aware that I am on full disability and it seems to get harder to get our tops done quickly.  We work very hard to make the best pieced top for the money, many times working days just to complete one top.  We usually don't even make minimum wage, but love what we do.  You will see that our prices have gone up but after 12 years of doing this fulfilling job, we just have to start making a profit.  I know you can purchase a ready made top elsewhere (for a lot less), but we do so many custom tops because we want our customers to have what they want, not something that is already made and may not be in the colors they want.  Let me share something with you that I got from Alex Anderson:

Why Do Quilts (Tops) Cost So Much??

(Cost for materials, construction and finishing for a 65"x65" Lap Quilt)

Materials for the lap quilt:

Fabric: Usually 5 yards @ $10 per yard = $50

Construction: (Labor based on $10 per hour)

Machine piecing the top: (includes the fabric, cutting the pieces, sewing the pieces, ironing (twice), setting into rows, adding borders) 40 hours @ $10 per hour = $400

NOTE: a larger quilt, a more intricate pattern, quilting will cause the price to increase.

TOTAL COST FOR YOUR FINISHED TOP:  $450.00

As you see, many, many hours are used to make you a custom quilt top (or quilt) like YOU WANT!!

Would you want to work for less than $5.00 per hour?? I don't think so, so please bare with us as we go through this process of increasing our prices so that we are not losing money year after year.  We will always be fair, with our customers in mind.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.  Thank you and God Bless you all!!   Sarah

The Lakota Sioux were one of the first who designed the Star Quilt and this is one of a kind.   Owinja -Star Quilt  is tradition among the Sioux to give Lone Star Quilts during ceremonies celebrating life, death, weddings, and more and this tradition continues today.   The star pattern is derived from early buffalo robe designs.  Since the extermination of the buffalo herds the Lakota implemented the craft of quilting and is still taught to each new generation.   The star is an important figure in Sioux ceremonies.  It represents the direction from which spirits travel to earth and is a link between the living and the dead, thus symbolizing immortality.  The quilt is draped behind the casket at funerals, replacing the traditional red-painted buffalo hide.  Today, star quilts are one of the most valued gifts of the Sioux people, often made for "giveaway" events, bestowing upon the recipient recognition and respect.

We feel very privileged to make many Native American stars that are used for these ceremonies and giveaways. Many of our designs are inspired by  Native Americans. Miigwetch!

PLEASE NOTE:  We do not launder our fabrics before construction.  I do include a flyer about a product called "Color Catcher" and it works very well in the washing machine.  Do try it, I think you will like it.

 CUSTOM ORDERS ARE NOT RETURNABLE.  Soooo much work is put into each of our tops (or quilts) and we can not accept custom returns.  They are very hard to resell because they were custom made just for you!
