RE: questions for quilters on work I had done...I called her
#1
So I called the lady and very calmly explained how I was happy with the work on my MIL but felt as thought she did a rush job on mine (the leaves). I asked her if she would be willing do wither do it over or refund the money on this one. Also told her about the white thread and she stated "I must have ran out of thread". She is willing to do it over but said she was not sure if she had another leave pattern, I told her I was ok with the leave pattern if it was done right.
I would like to have leaves and am seroiusly thinking about just haveing her refund my money and have it done by a one of the ladies (Washington) here on the board who responed to my blog. It will take me some time to take out all the work though.
Thanks to all of you for all your feed back and giving me the courage to call her. She seemed ok and not mad at all, we will see when I meet her face to face.

I am happy to hear that she is willing to either refund or re-quilt your quilt for you.
It is not very professional to switch threads like that, and not checking the whole quilt over before saying it is "done."
I would be very tempted to take it elsewhere, especially after she admitted she "must have run out of the other thread" :roll:

Good for you!!! I'm impressed that you talked with her about what you wanted. I can't tell you how many quilts have been brought to me after someone else quilted them, and the owners just ripped out the quilting and never talked to the quilter about the problem. Your quilter won't learn to do a better job if she doesn't know it's a problem.

I did a search to find out what you were talking about. Those definately do NOT look like leaves!!! And don't fit the "pattern" of the quilt at all.
I've just started machine quilting....and I can tell you, that if the woman doesn't finish the quilting by burying her threads, doesn't KNOW when she's run out of thread, doesn't follow your instructions (color), then she wouldn't be doing another quilt for me!!! Get your money back and go somewhere else!!!!
