Preserve Your Memories For A
Lifetime
custom t-shirt quilts
I recently bought an embroidery machine so I no longer have to send out embroidery to be done. Sometimes customers want names and dates or other lettering embroidered in a square or in the top or bottom border and I can offer that service in-house now. My set-up price is $15 and that includes up…
Read MoreIt’s always fun when my customers post pictures on Facebook or send me photos of their graduate receiving his or her quilt. Here’s a happy graduate from Ohio. My husband and I once owned a hardware store and this particular graduate’s great-grandfather worked for us. He has since passed, but I was thrilled when her…
Read MoreA customer asked me the other day why I don’t do quilts with the t-shirts cut all different sizes and laid out in a random fashion. I have seen some random t-shirt quilts that I liked and some that were way too busy for my taste. However, it is just a matter of personal preference. Having…
Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone. 2017 won’t be my favorite year ever due to the flooding from Hurricane Harvey, but it certainly could have been a lot worse. We were blessed to get our house back in order in time for the holidays while many of our fellow Texans…
Read MoreWow….I haven’t written a blog in nearly a month. But I do have a good excuse. My fellow elf (my husband) and I have been working overtime trying to get all the Christmas t-shirt quilts done in time for gift giving. A couple more people have to come by to pick up quilts, but other…
Read MoreSomething fun happened a few weeks ago when a customer brought t-shirts to me to be made into a quilt. She said she was part of a group of six women who had been friends in high school and had stayed in touch and had reunions ever since. They had matching t-shirts made for some…
Read MoreAs someone who works in a home studio with just my husband (which is not a bad thing), I enjoy meeting and talking to customers. Some of them have interesting stories and because I do memory quilts, some of them have sad stories. I had an experience this week that made me think that sometimes…
Read MoreWell, another year of Quilt Market and Festival have passed in somewhat of a blur this year. With the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the Houston Astros winning the World Series, I was somewhat distracted. And takes an awful lot to get me distracted from anything quilt related. The good news (besides the Astros winning)…
Read MoreI really wish I could quit talking about Hurricane Harvey and the resulting flood, but it’s still very much a part of my daily life. The house repairs still aren’t completed, but my studio looks really nice, so I thought I would share some pictures. We’re working steadily to get all the Christmas T-shirt quilt…
Read MoreAs mentioned in previous posts, Hurricane Harvey did a number on us with his torrential rains that flooded our house. We had so much to do and so many decisions to make that I didn’t get to sew a whole lot, but I was finally getting back in the groove when the date arrived for…
Read MoreHarvey 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…
