My name is Juliet Madsen, I am the face behind Stroke of Luck Quilting & Design. I am an award winning quilter and have been sewing and quilting for over twenty years. I have served in the United States Army and fought in Operation Desert Storm & Shield as well as Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was medically retired from the U.S. Army, due to the injuries I sustained during my time in Iraq and  I am proud to say that SLQD is a Woman and Service Disabled Veteran Owned and Operated Small Business. I decided to open SLQD because I love sewing, quilting, long-arm quilting, and working with my friends and partners to design and finish beautiful quilts. SLQD allows me to share my talents and raise money for other disabled veterans and to pursue my passion while providing pattern, design, and sewing work for U.S. military suppliers. As quilters, we often struggle to find  long-arm quilters that can complete our projects in a timely manner and with the quality we expect for our treasures. Frequently, we find the machine quilting services out there have backlogs that run anywhere from eight weeks to as long as a year. I know that I don't like to wait that long and I'm sure that you don't either. You've spent long hours preparing your quilts and bringing your vision alive. There is nothing worse than having to wait months to see your artistic vision completed. At Stroke of Luck, I guarantee that you will never wait longer than one month for your project to be completed. Even better, with my Gammill Optimum Plus with Statler Stitcher, I can provide you with a broad range of computer guided continuous-line patterns or we can review some of my own hand-guided custom design work for that special Heirloom quilt. At Stroke of Luck, you will be an active participant in the design sand election process. It is my job to help you find designs and patterns that help you realize your psecific vision, while staying within your budget. You are not a faceless name or number. You are my clients and friends. I will always be here for you. I provide on time delivery and superior quality. I am a member of the Colorado Quilt Council, the Arapahoe County Quilters (Vice Chair of Membership), the Common Threads Quilt Club, the Daugthers of the American Revolution, The Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disablled American Veterans. I work with as many veteran related groups as I can and speak where ever I am invited. I speak about my work, my past, and the future of women veterans and quilting. Come along while we create some of the most exciting work in quilting and material design today! Open your heart and mind to all of the possibilities of embellishments, textures, designs, and colors. You can achieve greatness and I will be there to cheer you on! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your legacy. You have no idea how loved and welcomed your quilts will be for your children and theirs to come. Together we can create art!
