All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
My commitment to customer and seller is my utmost priority. I've strived to keep a perfect record, but in some unhappy moment, two sellers thought otherwise, that was long ago. I enjoy the contact with the many people across USA, Canada & Denmark.

Sharing a new technique
I've enjoyed so much learning new techniques in quilting then giving a teaching presentation to my local quilt club and quilt guild. It does require lots of time each month, but the time is very rewarding. By teaching, I feel I'm making a difference in another quilter's life.
Business InformationHistory/background
I began my home based business, serving as a Medical Doctor's claims specialist, which turned into an office position for eight years.I began my trademark I Say It With Stitches in 1990, while living in Texarkana, TX. Designing my own counted cross-stitch chart for a topic not available anywhere, proved to me I COULD DO IT! I still do some chart designing for personal use. I began designing quilt tops early last year. It is a great outlet of creative juices. I've opened my Applegramma's Quilted Puppy Pad in December 2007. It is my great love of my Weimaraner pups that I came up with the name-my two loves-my dog and quilts.
Payment policy
I prefer PayPal, but will accept USPS Money Orders and Cashiers Checks.
Shipping information
Normally, I use USPS Priority Mail, Flat Rate. It arrives for the bidder quickly and is pickec up at my home. No need to drive into town to do the shipping. Actually this saves the bidder money. I DO NOT CHARGE FOR ANY HANDLING. If I charged the first class shipping then add in the handling, the total shippine/handling would be more than the Flat Rate Priority Shipping.
Return policy
I will accept a return, only if the item is not as it is listed. This is stated in my details on each listing. If a customer has a problem with an item, they should email me and we WILL work something out. I do not and will not misrepresent any listing I post.

You choose the color palette and if traditional or new technique. From there, I'll do the rest. Quilt tops, baby quilts, crocheted baby blankets.
