Nope

It is horrid that your quilt was dammaged. I would also let others know how she dose not respond, word of mouth is great adversing and it works both ways. Shame on the quilter. :XD:

To Gump51; True example of making lemonade out of lemons! I'll have to keep this in mind .

How did you find this person? Go to the source if you had one and let them know how disappointed you are with this person's work and ethics. I would definitely spread the word about why I would never use her again.

report her to the better business bureau!!! take her to court!!! make her life miserable!! if she will not be responsible then she deserves it all of us spend our time (and money) on making quilts no one deserves to have one ruined

The only provable fact is: there's a hole in the quilt. HOW it got there, and WHO put it there cannot be proven.

'Tis the season for LA's to be swamped. Not making excuses for her, but I think I'd check around a bit, find other customer's she's quilted for and ask if they've had difficulty with her work. Where did you find her and did you ask for references or see her work? I'd want to be very sure that she is consistently unreliable before I tried to ruin her business. Just sayin'.

Wow. I can't believe how many people would ruin this woman's business over one mistake.

The quilt is not ruined. It has a hole. Repair the hole and get over it.

The only way this would be a major tragedy is if this was a $25,000 show quilt.

The LA was given the chance to work out a solution with the customer and she refused. If she's too ignorant to know that one unsatisfied customer means loss of future business then why be concerned for her if she does lose business.

There's a difference between taking your business elsewhere and *intentionally* setting out to put sombody out of business because they made one mistake and didn't do whatever you deem necessary to fix it.
