That is probably about normal for Bill. I sent him a set of belts a while back after talking to him on the phone. He was super nice and said he would get right on them. After a couple of months I called him and he said he was sorry but had been busy and he would get them finished up and shipped right away. A couple more months went by and then I called him again. He said the belts were done but he had lost my address so he didn't know who to ship them to. I eventually did get the belts back and they looked great. Just took a long time. My guess is that he is an old school kind of guy who sews the stuff in a back room in his house and keeps all of his notes on scrap paper. You just can't be in a hurry but you do have to check on him once in a while.
