Happy T-Shirt Quilt Customers

August 7, 2018

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…

Embroidery for Your Quilt

July 11, 2018
Posted in

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…

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…

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…

Musicians and Quilters

February 20, 2018
Posted in

I’m not sure why it is, but it seems to me that a lot of quilters and musicians hang together. My husband, son, son-in-law, and now grandsons play musical instruments. At one time, my quilting studio was half  music studio. Several years ago, a new quilt customer brought a quilt top to me and she…

Remembering Mardi Gras with a T-Shirt Quilt

February 2, 2018
Posted in

You would think that having grown up in Louisiana, though at the opposite end of the state from New Orleans, I would know a little about Mardi Gras. Basically, all I ever knew was that it was a very big celebration held every year in New Orleans and also celebrated in some other cities. And…

It’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…

Wow….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…

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)…
