Health Precautions

Contrary to public belief Covid-19 is still circulating everywhere. It is a systemic vascular disease, not “just a cold”. I am immunocompromised and do not have the luxury of ever not being vigilant. Since I am working out of my home, I have to be extra careful. Everybody has been very understanding, and I am very grateful that we are all working together to keep each other save.

• If you have a quilt top that you would like me to quilt for you, please contact me. We will discuss options, patterns, colours, pricing etc. via phone and/or email and set up a time for you to drop off your project.
• I request that you put your top, backing and batting (if applicable) into a bag or other container that can be placed on the ground. Please make sure that you write your name on the bag or put a note with your name into the bag.
• We will still be conducting business outside. Please step back a few steps after ringing the doorbell. 
• After looking at the quilt and measuring everything, I will send you an email with quilting suggestions and address potential problems.
• When your project is ready to be picked up, I will send you an email with my invoice. At this time I request that you do not bring cash. I accept online payments via Square and eTransfers. I can also process debit and credit cards in person when you pick up your quilt. No cheques, please.

Everybody has been very understanding during all of this, and I would like to thank all my customers for their kindness and support. Let’s continue to work together to keep all of us as safe as possible.

As for my reasons, most of you who know me also know that I am a breast cancer survivor and went through Lyme disease a few years ago. On top of that I had to have more chemo treatments during the pandemic for NLPHL, a rare type of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. As you can imagine, my immune system is still severely compromised. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system, and no one knows how effective the vaccine is in my special case, and I’d rather be safe than sorry. Unfortunately my breast cancer has also returned in the meantime, and I am continuously on chemo treatments. I am sure you can understand that I don’t want to take any risks with my health, and I thank you all once again for your support and understanding.
