I am absolutely shocked! This is a stunning piece and you all worked so hard on it! That’s just tragic. A policy needs to be in place for special orders that they pay a non-refundable deposit for half the cost. I did read that he asked for a full refund, that seems heartless. So a policy to protect the work and the business transaction must be implemented!
So sorry the person turned down such a stunning quilt. Maybe a policy change should be the specialty orders be paid up front or at least 50% of the cost. Love the Amish so patient and kind people. Thanks for the video and Thank Anna and company for creating a stunning quilt. I would purchase but a make my own quilts. Take Care
Gretta he actually had paid for it in full and then asked for his money back anna wanted to make things right that she was willing to give back all of his money instead. I bought the quilt.....it is just lovely
I'm devastated. How could anybody find that beautiful quilt not pleasing. I would love to hear how Anna and the Amish deal with the disappointment that they have to feel. While I agree that one shouldn't pay money for something they just aren't drawn to, this was a special order and should therefore be paid for just the same. I'm not capable of reconciling myself to accepting this, yet I'll work on it, as there's not a bloody thing I can do about it. If I had the extra money AND if I needed a quilt, I would for sure and for certain purchase it. But I make quilts and I've made all the quilts I need for my home, as well as all of my family members. I will pray that there is someone out there who is financially able to purchase it and who will enjoy having it on their bed to keep them warm. I've enjoyed being on this journey with you, and appreciate your taking us with you. I'm looking forward to joining you on more as you allow us. God's Blessings
Martha, I will be going over to Anna's little quilt shop on Tuesday to discuss the quilt, her feelings about it and talk to her sisters as well. I want them to know that all of my viewers love and admire not just the quilt but the workmanship, beauty and love that went into creating it! Plus, we really were able to share their culture through this quilting process. I know the Amish, they do not hold grudges, heck, they hardly get mad! I feel confident that the right person will buy the quilt, but until I offer it for sale I will keep looking at it myself! You are such a fine person Martha, thank you for sharing your thoughts and stay tuned for the upcoming video of my talk with the girls.
I am very disappointed that the person who made the special order did not purchase that beautiful quilt. I agree with the others who say that a non refundable deposit might be required if this continues since Anna & her family deserve compensation for all their time and you for your gas & travel time. I also had the opportunity to visit Levina's little fabric shop when she was open. She had a beautiful selection of fabric in such a small intimate space. She was delightful to visit with and greatly helped me with matching the colors & fabrics I needed to purchase for my upcoming quilt projects. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Rhonda... i bought the quilt myself and refunded the buyers money. Anna and her sisters are very gracious, as you know and we all were able to work it out. I will resell this beautiful quilt, i just know it! my friendship with the amish, especially Anna's family remains solid. No next time for me lol!
It is so gorgeous. I cant understand how this can happen with a special order. I hope it finds a home where it is truly appreciated. I am in UK or I would come and see it. Very best wishes .
That upset me to hear that beautiful quilt is not wanted, " But never mind life moves on & one day someone else will full in love with it & buy it. However you do have to be careful with people at the moment, there`s a lot of timewasters out in this world, ordering items then not paying for them or messing around just too upset the seller. God bless ! Have a lovely day.💖
Wow! That is crazy! I got as far as buying the ruler, and looking at this beautiful piece of artwork, I really want to get started on mine! Whoever the buyer “should have been”, perhaps a bit more clear on what they where asking you to create. I don’t believe they understand the Art of quilting. It is very beautifully done and you should be very proud of your work 🤗🤗🤗
Well I wish you good luck! This is a difficult quilt to create for sure and will be quite a challenge even for the best. The buyer chose the pattern and also helped choose the colors. Unfortunately he was not happy with one of the colors in the bottom border and decided he didn't want it.
I've quit doing commission work in any thread field. "not what I had in mind" "the green is not the right green" "I want it to be a different size, take it apart and do it again" "can't afford it now". Family doesn't do this to me so they get theirs free. They'll get my stash of finished quilts and handspun/handwove blankets and rugs in my Will. Love work can't be bought.
What a stunning work of art, in stunning colours that would surely grace any bedroom and make it look stunning, peaceful and calming. This is my first sight of your channel and i just can't believe that someone would order a speciality quilt and then get out of paying for it. Surely they agreed upon colours and the design before starting the process, which is long and painstakingly hard work on the hands. This has used valuable resources that are not cheap, plus the time and skill in the art work of making it. I really feel that when ordering or commissioning a bespoke piece of art that they should have to leave a non refundable deposit, even if it only covers the cost of the materials that have had to be sourced, these do not come free. Anna, beautiful lady, i truly am sorry that someone has refused such a stunning piece of workmanship, taking handmade to a whole new level. Your skills in the making of this beauty are truly in class of their own, in my humble opinion, I realise that you are not able to accept such compliments, but i know the hand work that goes into making items and am in total awe of the wonderful talent you have in your fingertips. Thank you for sharing it with the world, sending you crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland
If you commission a quilt to be made, there should definitely be a non-refundable deposit to cover the cost of the materials. I can’t imagine why he wasn’t happy with that gorgeous quilt. I have the pattern and the templates for this quilt and have been acquiring fabrics to make my own. I hope I can do my version justice as you have yours. One good thing is, is that now you can take your time to admire all the hard work that was put into it. I’m sure someone will see this work of art and make an offer to purchase.
The Alaska quilt is stunning! I can’t wait to start on my own. I just got the pattern! I’d love to know how the small rugs in the shop are made? I love your videos! Thank you💕
How sad the person rejected the quilt. Did they give a reason? But one person's loss is another one's gain and somebody will receive the quilt and love it to bits. Pretty ride around and I love that the ladies are barefoot on the ground. I'd love to do that here, but it's so squelchy - and we have a lot of sneaky thistles! Amish are lovely people.
Yes I think that would be pretty as well there are so many different ways to finish this quilt and each buyer absolutely has the opportunity to input ideas of designs add color combinations thank you for taking the time to comment
@HelenWallace-q3e thank you again Helen I have some photos of the quilt on my log bed at my cabin and we'll share them with my viewers please note the bottom where the tan border is that it was designed to compliment the hardwood floor!
I made this quilt and the top took me 2 and a half months to make, although I took a month more repeating one of the blocks to surround as the border. So I would estimate the maker took 2 and a half months just to make the top let alone the time it took to quilt it. The seams of every block coordinated into the center causing a volcano ( very hard to press ). I’m sure it will catch someone’s eye and will purchase it. It’s a very famous known quilt by Edyta Sitar ( without the straight borders) if someone would help the Ladies by picturing the quilt on Etsy under the heading Alaska by Laundry Basket Quilts, Edyta Sitar I believe it would get a lot of traction and be sold quickly.
Oh thank you so much Diana this is invaluable information! The ladies work so hard on the quilt and remember all the quilting was done by hand I will feature it on Etsy as you mentioned in about 2 weeks or so and see what we can do with it I paid the ladies with my own money to make sure they were rewarded for their hard work they are such a lovely group of Amish women
@@rubyhollowadventurer I know the precut kit is now on the website for $219.95 that’s without those borders and there is probably 3 yards in those borders plus binding, backing and batting…… that’s probably $400.00 just to build this quilt plus the pattern cost. I wouldn’t sell it for less than $1,250.00 just my opinion. But I’m a professional Longarm Quilter……
@dianawright8334 i bought it for Anna to use, i am hoping they will make more alaska quilts! I hope to have a new video out this week, and then pist thd etsy sale......i thank you for your insights+
You are right Jennifer the right person will come along that will love it my buyer loved it until the last moment and then decided that the tan-colored border was not what wanted even though we had discussed it it was quite an effort by the Amish family and I'm very proud of their response to the denial
You let me know how much you want for it and I will start saving money for it I think its beautiful. I'm on a fixed income and raising my granddaughter but I'm truly interested in it.
Well I don't have it for sale yet but I think I will offer it on Etsy or you could also send me a message that you're interested and we could start a conversation via my personal email not offered yet though but about 2 weeks

Hi from Casper, Wyoming. Just found your channel. First off I really enjoyed this video. That Alaska quilt is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I would like the blues on the edge. That's where it looks like it should end and the tan attached to the main body.
