You might have noticed that I have a new logo on my website. It was designed by my very talented niece April. She majored in Art in college and has been teaching high school, but this coming school year will be the first year that she will be teaching art classes. As she says, it’s…
Read MoreAt Katy T-Shirt Quilts, the bulk of our business is local because we are located in a very large metropolitan area. However, we do receive t-shirts from all over the United States. People are often fearful of sending out their precious t-shirts and prefer to find someone local. But because making t-shirt quilts is such…
Read MoreI’m always looking for fresh new ideas for T-shirt quilts and sometimes the inspiration comes from a customer. I recently made this T-shirt quilt for a customer who wanted something a little different. She brought a picture of a friend’s quilt to show me what she wanted. I found border fabric online and then ordered…
Read MoreThis is my favorite time of year. We just got back from a family reunion in Louisiana and the weather was perfect, the food was plentiful (too plentiful actually), and we got to enjoy time with aunts, uncles, cousins and grandkids. I didn’t take a quilt to auction off this year, but we’ve been asked…
Read MoreThe air is finally getting cooler and many schools, churches and charities are having Fall Festivals and fundraisers. I’m attending a family reunion this weekend where we have an auction to raise money to pay for the facilities. The quilt pictured on the left is one that I made for a previous reunion. It’s a…
Read MoreI’m sometimes asked if I have other people helping me make T-shirt quilts. There are T-shirt quilt companies that hire as many as 20 helpers. At Katy T-Shirt Quilts, “we” means my husband and me. We want to be sure every quilt meets our quality specifications and we are much more comfortable with just the…
Read MoreMany of the T-shirt quilts that I make do have a theme such as a sorority or college T-shirt quilt, but just as many don’t have a theme. A person may have T-shirts from elementary school mixed in with baseball, travel or concert T-shirts. That’s the beauty of each T-shirt quilt. It can reflect one,…
Read MoreAre you one of those people who hates going into stores in September and seeing Christmas decorations already? So am I. However, there is a good reason to start thinking about Christmas gifts now rather than later. With people having such busy lives, it’s hard to squeeze in all the things that have to be…
Read MoreSchool is back in session, and if you have a high school senior in your life you know how important this year will be to them. Senior year is a time of cementing life-long friendships, creating memories, and getting ready for big changes on the horizon. Senior year is something they’ll never forget, and now…
Read MoreSometimes I get an urge to try something different, so I experiment with my T-Shirts that I have collected when traveling. We went to Disneyworld and Universal Studios with our kids and grandkids in June, so I was anxious to put my T-Shirts from that trip into a quilt. I just finished making an Attic…
Read MoreOne of the questions often asked when a customer picks up his T-Shirt Quilt is, “Can I wash it?” This is an important question because many of the T-Shirt Quilts are for young people heading to college where they will get a lot of use and possibly the dreaded spill or two. Not to worry.…
Read MoreAs hot as it’s been, it’s hard to believe that it’s time to head back to school. And that means it’s time for football games. My favorite high school memories were going to football games and rooting for my team. I loved the smell of fall in the air, but it often got pretty chilly…
