Making Quilts in the Merry Month of May

Wow, the time has gotten away from me. With all the graduation t-shirt quilts, I haven’t found much time for anything else during the month of May. However, I did want to show you some quilts I pieced at my last retreat before my next one comes up. Both of these are donation quilts for…

How Not to Make a T-shirt Quilt

February 20, 2019

How many times have you been to a craft show and seen an item and said, “I could make that myself”? Of course, you probably never end up making it, and I know this because I have been guilty of the same thing. We don’t seem to want to pay the price for home crafted…

Look Before You Leap

The old adage “look before you leap” applies to a lot of situations in life, but it can also apply to hiring someone to make a t-shirt quilt for you. I recently had someone bring me a 30 t-shirt quilt that she had paid $200 for someone to make for a Christmas gift for her…

The much anticipated Houston International Quilt Festival has come and gone.  It is always amazing and overwhelming at the same time. My friend Jody and I had to take a picture by the huge sewing machine. We thought about sending it to our husbands and telling them it was the new sewing machine we just…

Posted in

Because I really felt the need for one more retreat per year (two just aren’t enough), I scheduled a retreat for this week at Quilter’s Cabin and invited ten of my favorite quilters.  There were only six of us including myself who were able to come, but we had a great time. Jody, my best friend…

A Quilt for Myself…..Finally

After Hurricane Harvey, we were forced to remodel our house whether it needed it before Harvey or not. Actually, it did need some updating. We had our house repaired and redecorated in record time, but it took a while to get a new quilt made for our master bedroom. I finally got it finished and…

Happy T-Shirt Quilt Customers

Happy customers make me happy. It’s always nice to receive a thank you note from customers to whom I ship quilts since I don’t get to show them their quilts in person. I got the following today: “Dear Sharon,  I just wanted to let you know that I am well pleased with the quilt.  My…

Happy Graduate with Her New T-Shirt Quilt

It’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…

T-Shirt Quilt Designs

March 26, 2018
Posted in

A 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…

It’s a Small World

Something 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…

Why I Love Quilting for Others

November 20, 2017
Posted in

As 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…

Christmas T-Shirt Quilts

November 14, 2017
Posted in

Well, 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)…

I started making quilts as a child and have been quilting for others for over twenty years. Quilts that I have quilted have been featured in several quilting books and magazines.
