Hi, I’m Debbie Schulze - wife, mom, Grammie, (retired) physical therapist, quilt maker and longarm quilter. I started making quilts in 2012. I bought my first longarm machine almost immediately.  Four longarms later, I’ve quilted over 800 quilts – all freehand. 

Historically speaking, I’ve had a handful of recognitions for my work:

I own an Innova Longarm Machine and take customer requests where I quilt in Taos, NM.  I don’t have computerized programming on my machine. All my work is freehand. My turnaround is usually 2-4 weeks.  I provide return shipping costs on any quilts that are sent to me, and on all commissioned quilts. 

I love quilting and everything about it – fabric hunting, cutting, piecing, fusing, ripping, re-piecing, paper piecing, ironing, design walls, quilting, binding…it’s calming, exciting, expensive, frustrating, rewarding, cheap therapy, and the ultimate lesson in patience.

I look forward to providing you with professional longarm quilting, or creating a custom quilt. Many of my smaller pieces are available at Las Comadres Art Gallery in Taos, a co-op run by 8 local female artists.

Take a look around my website. Have fun!
