Christmas Deadlines!
Hi everybody – it’s been a while! I actually moved August 1st to the beautiful city of West Des Moines, Iowa (only about 20 minutes from the other Des Moines suburb I was living in, and yes, it’s the home of Shawn Johnson!), and then we took a much-needed vacation to Arizona. By the time my son started 1st grade, I launched my updated bamboo clothing store, and I finished a whole slew of quilts… well, not much time was left to blog!
As scary as it seems, Christmas is right around the corner! This is even more important if you’re in the market for a handmade baby clothes or memory quilt, since I need a little time to create your masterpiece.
My current projection for a Christmas deadline (that’s when I need to have your clothing, order form & deposit) is November 10th. That will give me enough time to finish your quilt & ship it back to you before Christmas. However, it’s hard to know how many quilts will be arriving between now & then, so I do have to reserve the right to move this date (I am not superwoman – I can only sew so fast!) So please plan to get your clothing to me early – the earlier the better! 
After November 10th, I will likely charge a rush fee of $50 per quilt, and after Thanksgiving I can no longer guarantee Christmas delivery (although I will still try!)
I really try my best to accommodate everyone’s deadlines, so I wanted to get this out there early so that we can all plan ahead. Christmas is my busiest time of year, both for my quilts & my online store, so I do have to put up deadlines, but don’t hesitate to contact me if you are wondering if there’s still time or if I can meet your requests.

HiJamie! I just found you and I love your site and your work. I just checked out your bamboo clothing shop too and I adore that too.
I tried to email you, but apparently your email thinks I am spam.
I also left a message yesterday and this morning. I want to order pillows for my daughter and wanted to make sure that you were still going with the 11/10 order deadline before I printed order form and sent you my items.
I look forward to hearing from you. 803.233.8370 or you can try to email me too. Thanks so much for your help.
