Where did the name come from?
A few years ago my friend Nancy Lindquist, clothing
designer with the company Villa Factory gave me a bag full of fabric
remnants. Sorting them into colors I got
a batch of ‘brights’ that I started cutting these into pieces that were multiples of
one inch and up to 10 inches (with an extra ½ inch for seam allowance). I then started sewing them into 10 inch
blocks, all the while the Garden Song (Inch by Inch) by David Mallet, made
famous by Pete Seeger kept going through my head with of course Quilt
appropriate words – “Inch by inch row by row, Gonna make this little quilt grow”
and so it did, right into a twin size quilt.
When I was pondering a name for my longarm quilting
business “Inch by Inch Quilting” felt right.
Many longarm quilters charge by the square inch. You take the width of
your finished quilt top and multiply it by the length of your quilt, you then take
this number and multiply it by the amount the longarm quilter charges per
square inch to determine the cost of quilting.
For an example a 90 x 90 inch quilt = 8100 square inches. Multiply 8100 by the charge per square inch
and you have the cost of quilting your masterpiece.
Here is the picture of my Inch by Inch quilt, it
was donated to a Fund Raiser for the Calgary Girls School and Shirley is now
the proud owner.
