Harvey Update: We are still in business even though our house got water in it. We were able to protect everything in the studio except the walls and part of those will have to be removed. But we will be working in the studio every day that we can because this is, after all, our…
Read MoreWhen customers pick up their quilts, they are often overwhelmed and some of them even cry. But they are usually having the quilts made for someone other than themselves. So it’s always nice to get feedback from the actual quilt recipients. I recently had the privilege of making a couple of t-shirt quilts out of…
Read MoreI just realized I haven’t posted since Thanksgiving weekend. The month of December has gone by in a flash and I can’t believe it’s Christmas night. I have had a very hectic month. In addition to making quite a few t-shirt quilts, I’ve been spending several hours a week doing physical therapy for my back…
Read MoreIt’s just a few days till Thanksgiving and then everyone who hasn’t already thought about Christmas shopping is going to be rushing around to get it all done in time for the holidays. If you would like to give a one-of-a-kind gift, consider giving a quilt. I still have a couple of slots available to…
Read MoreIn spite of how it may appear in the picture, I really had a productive quilt market. The vendors go out of their way to decorate their booths and make it fun for the Market attendees and it’s great to go just to witness their creativity. I met with several fabric vendors and ordered over…
Read MoreAs a long time quilter, I have certain types of quilts that I like to make. Piecing is my favorite thing to do, but paper piecing is a whole new ball of wax for me. I fell so in love with a pattern by Judy Niemeyer called Prismatic Star that I had to make it.…

Read MoreOnce again school has started and so have preseason football games. Now is the time to order a team quilt for your favorite sports fan. They make great Christmas gifts for the man (or woman) who already has everything. A quilt with their team logo would be a one-of-a-kind gift that they could treasure for…
Read MoreLast time I saw my hairdresser, she told me that it was less than 180 days till Christmas. Well, it’s been about six weeks and I have another hair appointment tomorrow, so I figured I would see how many days are left now and it’s 138. That may seem like a lot and really strange…
Read MoreDid your babies grow much too quickly? Mine sure did. My “baby” is now 42 years old. And my youngest grandchild will be ten years old this year and I’m wondering where the time went. Babies grow out of those tiny onesies and cute little outfits before they hardly have a chance to wear them. …
Read MoreAlthough making T-shirt quilts makes up the bulk of our business, we also enjoy making traditional quilts for our customers. We can make one to your size and color specifications and I love the opportunity to do a special quilt. The quilt pictured is a king-sized quilt that was a custom order from good friends…
Read MoreAs I have mentioned in previous blogs, the Katy T-Shirt Quilts work force consists of my husband and me. We like to give personal attention to every order and there are only so many hours that the two of us can work. We work long hours around Christmas and graduations in May and June, but…
