       To a quilter, 'down time' usually relates to a broken machine or waiting for material to be shipped. To the quilters at Quilts By Lady Zoe.com, down time is when the sales are limited and phones stop ringing for orders. Usually this season begins after all the holidays are in the rears and people aren't thinking about warm quilts to bundle up with in front of the fireplace while watching TV. They're out at the pool soaking up the sun or having a picnic with family and friends.
       For the personnel at  Quilts By Lady Zoe, it's a time to stock up on the array of quilts that are being sold at the local swap meets in they're area. Baby quilts seem to sell year round as grand-parents, aunts and uncles look for something special and different to give at the baby showers.
      All of the quilts built and sold by our team are homemade one of a kind designs. These are not manufactured quilts, but individually designed,cut and sewn together by a mom and pop team whom take pride in every quilt they make. Whether it's a special order or a design that just inspired us, our quilts are custom made and offered to the public at reasonable prices for such items.
      Redoubtably, one can purchase a quilt from numerous department stores for a lot less, but it will be a quilt that your neighbor has, not a personalized custom homemade quilt that you would want to pass on to your next generation. Manufactured quilts are made in a warehouse where employee's have little to no say in the pattern or material design of the quilt they are making.
       Quilts By Lady Zoe pride themselves in the customization of every quilt they make, so 'down time' at our house is not the same as down time at the manufacturer's warehouse. It's a time where Zoe can design and build a quilt that is inspired by her everyday surroundings. Having three kid's, still in the house, Zoe and her spouse are a tag team of designing, cutting and sewing together an assortment of different and beautiful quilts of various sizes, colors and fabric.
