July 2nd update... I am still physically recovering from the accident last December, and a number of related, more recent falls with injuries but no fractures, and two very recent concussions. My struggle with balance persists following the many injuries and surgeries last year, and seemingly endless physical therapy. 

On a very happy note (for me!!), I'm finally enjoying the ability to actually piece and sew again, after such a traumatic time when I broke the heck out of my right ankle in January 2025, and had every imaginable complication. I'm making steady progress on a few custom quilts, and a few new pattern prototypes, too ;)  I'm slowly resuming quilting services (requires a lot more mobility!), HandiQuilter sales/installs and a few service calls, as well as having a great time teaching (a number of private classes, and hoping to gain participation for free basic demo style classes & activities, coaching time, block raffles/exchanges, challenges, etc., at the NB library), packaging and shipping internet sales, and continuing with pattern designs and Villa Rosa releases (latest for July is "Oh Helena" with a big surprise coming up next!!) 

I am happy to offer classes on request, on virtually any quilting technique of interest, including classes for children/young adults, and am working with a few additional venues in hopes of offering more small-scale classes to the public, at more locations. (San Marcos area friends stay tuned - great things may soon be in the works!) 

Please email quilthaus@gmail.com if interested in private classes, Handi Quilter servicing/repairs, or other requests or questions.

HQ Rental update - right now, the space is still very tight.  I am offering some great deals on our floor model Moxie machines, to help make space for comfortable Amara rentals.  Stay tuned, or take a Moxie home for a one-of-a-kind deal.  (Just one 15" and one XL available!)

SHIPPING Update - Shipping/handling rates change constantly, and I always seek to ship in the most economical manner (often first class), unless a faster method is requested.  This website platform is not capable of doing that, but I do adjust the fee downward as appropriate while processing the order.
