T-Shirt Quilts

Let me turn that pile of T-shirts into a keepsake quilt.  All you provide is the clean, uncut T-shirts and I do the rest.   

T-shirt quilts are a perfect way to preserve those memories from school sports and activities, marathons or other special interests.  T-shirts quilts make great graduation, birthday and Christmas gifts.

I use high quality 100% cotton fabric for the sashing, border and backing of your T-shirt quilt.  Then I machine quilt it on my longarm quilting machine. 

You may choose the color for your sashing, border and backing or have me choose the color I think will work best with your T-shirts.  If you would like to use two colors, I can add an accent color of your choice.  The quilting can be done in your choice of a meander or a swirl design.

 

School Quilts

School quilts make great gifts for new graduates to take to college.  Just send me a
T-shirt from your school of choice and I will take it from there.  If there is fabric available for your school, you may provide that to be used in the border of the quilt.  Contact me and I will be able to tell you where to locate licensed college fabric.  Due to licensing laws, you must provide school fabric and the T-shirt.  The standard size for the quilt is
68 by 84 which will fit a twin bed and the price is $350.  Other sizes are available upon request.

About Me

My love of quilting began at a very early age when my mother taught me to
piece and hand quilt. I made my first quilt when I was nine years old. I
often pretended to be sick so I could stay home from school and quilt with
the ladies at church on bee days. Over the years, I made several scrappy quilts
while raising my two children. In the late eighties, I discovered the
wonders of rotary cutters and strip piecing and my life hasn't been the same
since.

It didn't take long for me to find that my hand quilting hobby was not
keeping up with my quilt piecing hobby. So I bought my first quilting machine in
1995 and soon began machine quilting for customers. I am now on my third
quilting machine and quilting has become a full-time business. Quilts that I quilted have been published in Colorful Quilts, A Journey Through Fabric by Cynthia Regone as well as Simple Strategies for Block Swap Quilts by Lynn Roddy Brown. I was also recently featured in an article about quilting in Katy Magazine. I am a member of the West Houston Quilter's Guild, IMQA, Central Texas Longarm Quilters and FML Longarm Association.
