I’m often asked if I make quilts from neckties. I’ll have to admit it is not my favorite thing to do and I absolutely don’t have the time to make one of those fancy Dresden Plate necktie quilts. For non-quilters, that is a quilt that has the ties making a big circle. It’s a really…
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 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 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 MoreAs promised a few weeks ago, I am sharing a photo of a quilt I started at retreat in August. I got it quilted and bound and it is now in a gift bag to take to a great niece’s wedding on Saturday. I hope she and her new husband like the quilt as much…
Read MoreThe fall is my favorite time of year even though it has still felt like summer until the last day or so. It’s still in the eighties, but that’s cooler for us, so I’m happy about the improvement. October always gets me excited about the Houston International Quilt Market and Festival, but it’s also the…
Read MoreMany of my customers have so many t-shirts that they have a hard time narrowing them down to a reasonable number to put in a quilt. Some of them show up for appointments with bags and bags and want me to help choose. Although I can help you choose, I really don’t know what is…
Read MoreI’ve really enjoyed buying fabric and making quilts for Camp Hope. Carol Thelen, the founder of Quilts for Camp Hope, spoke at the West Houston Quilter’s Guild last week, so I got to grab a picture of her with a Camp Hope Quilt on the lectern. I also took her another quilt that I finished…
Read MoreIn a post from earlier this year, I mentioned a special quilt that I had worked on at retreat. It was a wedding gift for my oldest granddaughter and her fiance. The wedding is in June and we’re all very happy about it. But I was able to give the quilt to her at a…
Read MoreAs I’ve mentioned before, I’m very fortunate to be able to do what I love as a business. And one of the best things about this t-shirt quilt business is being able to go to quilting conferences and be with “my people”. Three longarm quilting friends and I are heading to New Hampshire on Tuesday…
Read MoreAfter I had just written last week’s post about quilts for causes, I got an email from my quilting friend Amy who had pieced a T-shirt quilt and had me quilt it a few months ago. It was a donation quilt to be used as a fundraiser for Camp Blessing which is a summer camp…
Read MoreAs I mentioned in a previous post, quilters love to make donation quilts to give for worthy causes. When I’m not working on t-shirt quilts for customers, I’m either making a quilt for myself or for a gift or to donate. I just finished making a couple more donation quilts. I made a patriotic one…
