Heirloom Quilts
Did Grandma leave you boxes of unfinished quilt pieces? Let me finish them and turn them into the family heirlooms they were intended to be.
pattern: double wedding ring variation, bed ruffle 24"x 80", hand appliqued, machine quilted
For this bed ruffle we used pieces that the client's mother had cut 70 years ago for a double wedding ring quilt.
T-Shirt Quilts
What can you do with all those memorable, yet unwearable t-shirts? How about a custom t-shirt quilt?
pattern: Standard t-shirt, throw size, tied
Keep it simple with the traditional “nine-patch style” where all shirts are cut into equal sized squares or rectangles.
T-shirt quilts make wonderful graduation gifts!
pattern:Standard t-shirt, twin size, hand tied
This client provided home made tie-dyed garments to use as the border for this quilt. For the backing fabric we used a sheet from the client's childhood bed. So this high school graduation present allowed her to carry the comfort of childhood with her to college.
pattern: Standard t-shirt, throw size, hand tied
Lots of white shirts? Spice up the color mix with an exciting border and backing fabric
pattern: Crazy quilt/t-shirt, twin size, hand tied
We can create a more organic look by cutting all the shirts into different sizes and using t-shirt scraps to fill in for a "crazy quilt-like" effect.

Fusion Quilts, T-shirts and patchwork
Create a unique work of fabric art by using patchwork to showcase your t-shirts
Pattern: Roman Squares/t-shirt, twin size, machine quilted & hand tied
This was the first custom t-shirt quilt I ever made. The t-shirts and backing fabric arrived at my house one day by mail out of the blue with a lovely thank you card saying "You are an angel, my daughter has been wanting a quilt since she graduated high school and its now half way through [her] junior year [in college]. Name your price and we'll send you a check. Thanks for your willingness to make my daughter's quilt". After some detective work I figured out that one of my dear college roommates had mentioned to an aunt that I liked to quilt. Boy am I glad she did!
pattern: Window boxes/t-shirt, king size, machine quilted
