Retired programmer turned longarm quilter — no quilt ever turned away, fast 3–5 day turnaround, handmade rugs, Quilts of Valor contributor."
Hi — I'm the Old Man Quilting. Yes, really.
I'm a 73-year-old retired programmer turned longarm quilter, and I've been doing this for over four years. I run a small, personal studio with a computerized longarm machine and a 10-needle embroidery machine — and I make handmade fabric rope rugs too.
Here's the thing that sets me apart from most longarm quilters: I have never turned a quilt away. Not for wonky borders. Not for imperfect piecing. Not for loose seams. Every quilt gets quilted. I fix what needs fixing and send it home looking beautiful. Beginners are not just welcome — they are my favorite customers.

QUILTS OF VALOR
I donate my longarm quilting service to Quilts of Valor, honoring our service members and veterans. The community makes the quilts — I make sure they're beautifully finished. It's the most important work I do.
