Commission Forms
Please select the order form you need and click on the link. A PDF file will open for you to print out on your printer. Fill it out with as much detail as you want to supply. Mail or email it to me and we will proceed from there with your commission. More general information is below the form links.
The Ford Emblem is used with licensing permission from Ford Motor Company. This is an example of one of the customized Ford Emblem wall art pieces I have completed for clients featuring images of their collector cars.
I have also used client’s business logos to make wall art for their corporate offices, showrooms, and for use in convention booths. Contact me for further details on what I can design for you.

I am always happy to discuss commissions with my clients. No project is too big or too small as you can see from some of the examples shown here on my website. The client’s involvement can be to any degree desired from giving me free reign to design a unique, one of a kind quilt or home décor piece; to you, the client specifying colors to be used or specific antique blocks that must be incorporated into the finished piece.
I have done the consultations for commissions both in person and completely via the Internet and email communication. Many of my orders from Europe have been done via the Internet and all communications through numerous emails. Now that I have this website, it is much simpler for clients to look at some of the pieces I have made and to decide if any of the basic designs fit their requirements for their own one of a kind piece.
It is easy to use one of my previous designs as a starting point and then through conversations refine and design their own piece. Some clients have been very precise in the colors they want in their quilts by sending me swatches of materials that are already in the room they plan on displaying the piece. Others have been general in just saying, “I like blues and browns” and letting me design their piece with those colors.
The various order forms on my site cover most of the information that I need to design your piece. Some things for you as the client to think about, prior to filling out the order form for your specific piece are listed below.
-- What size art quilt or home décor item do you envision?
-- Is it going to do double duty and be able to hang on a wall as well as grace a bed? (A king size art quilt will need a 10 foot tall by 10 foot wide space to hang in.)
-- Is there a time deadline on having the commission completed? Remember that all of the quilting and appliqué (if required) done on these pieces is done by hand and even the pieces that are not densely quilted still require a lot of time. It can take me up to a year or longer to get a 120”x120” quilt done depending on my exhibition schedule and other commissions I may be working on at the time the client submits their request.
-- Is there a specific piece that you have seen on my website that is similar to what you are envisioning or are there elements from multiple pieces that you would like to see incorporated into your piece?
-- If photos or images are being included in the piece, the images have to be photos taken by you or public domain images. I can not use copyrighted photos or licensed logos made by/for others such as professional photographers, corporations, etc. Some corporations have already given me licensing to use their logos (such as Ford) and I do have permission to use some wildlife photographers’ images as well.
Once the client and myself have discussed what the commission will entail, I can provide sketches of the potential design for a nonrefundable fee of $500.00. This fee is subtracted from the total cost of the piece when the commission contract is signed by all parties.
When the commission contract is signed, 1/3 of the total estimated cost is due. When the piece has been constructed, before the hand quilting begins, another 1/3 of the total estimated cost is due. When the piece is completed, the remaining balance is due prior to delivery or shipment of the completed piece. Photos will be sent by mail or email as each stage of the piece is completed.
As you can see from the order forms, prices for various types of commissions vary and are based on size of the piece and the complexity of the work. Some small, intricate art quilts can be more labor intensive than larger pieces. The prices listed on the various order forms, are for the art quilts or home décor only. Any interior designer/architect fees, installation expenses and/or hand delivery expenses are in addition to the cost of the work.
Payments can be made by personal check or securely online with Paypal which I use extensively, since it is secure for both myself and the client.
As would be expected, there are no returns or refunds on Commission pieces, as these are made specifically for you. The client sees the piece as it progresses, and the design process takes care of any problems before the piece is ever near completion.
As the designer, I retain the copyright for any work I make for clients. This means that you can not allow someone else to copy the art quilt or home décor item that I have made for you or to reproduce it in any form. If it is featured in a publication or article, credit must be given to me as the designer.
I do have the right to publish a photo of the completed piece on my website. You can request to not have your name listed with the image (“Private Collection” would be substituted.)
Most of the pieces I make are machine washable and dryable. The hand quilting does hold up to this as even the least quilted pieces, are quilted every 2-3 inches. Full care instructions are included with the completed piece. I use mostly 100% cotton fabrics for the front and back of the pieces. Polyester battings are normally used inside the pieces.
