** We at Lancaster County Quilting Creations have a long history of creating fine quilts with 2017 being our 50th year in the business of quilting.

In the beginning we hand quilted all of the quilts we made for our clients until this became impossible in the mid 2000’s due to the fact that most of the American hand quilters just became to old for the work and unfortunately most of our friends and partners are no longer with us. This is why machine quilting has become the staple of the entire quilting industry these days. Very unique and beautiful work can be accomplished either way, and we do still offer both options. However due to the high cost of hand quilting & minimum wage laws 99.5% of our clients prefer our high quality machine quilting.

For example: A hand quilted quilt with 400 yards of thread quilted into its surface will require about 14 days of quilting at a minimum (112 hours). The hand quilting cost is $ 898.00 for 14 days of labor at 8.00 per hour minimum wage, plus the quilt top & materials) ( compare this with 139.00 for machine quilting and you will quickly understand why most clients learn to love the art of machine quilting).

If you see someone offering hand quilting for less, then rest assured they are not quilted in the USA, unless done for a charity org.
