Need a special quilt?   Take a look at some of the ones I’ve designed and/or made and email me with your request.  I specialize in themed “scrap” quilts, tee shirt and memory quilts, and baby quilts.   I make all my sale quilts - start to finish, in my home.



This is the perfect solution for using AND preserving those special tee and sweat shirts.  Especially fun for me to make, these quilts take your shirts and turn them into mementos – perfect for commemorating a graduation, vacation, or special event.  They make great gifts.



Similar to tee-shirt quilts.  I’ll take your edited, high-definition digital pictures and put together a very special quilt for a very special someone.

 

   

1. I use 100% cotton fabrics usually in the “medium” price range.  Cotton quilting fabrics can range in price to well over $16 a yard.  Most of my fabrics fall into the $5.99-$8.99 range – with whites and off-whites being the least expensive.
2. I prefer to use good quality cotton or polyester/cotton batting, such as Warm ’N Natural or Hobbs 80/20 in my custom quilts.  I'll often put polyester batting in shirt quilts.
3. The more pieces in a quilt, the longer it takes to cut and sew together, and therefore, the more expensive it becomes.
4. Quilts with a multiplicity of fabrics are much more interesting to the eye, but do require extra cutting and coordination of fabrics, and more trips to the fabric store (Oh, no…..!).  Consequently, they cost more.
5. Quilts are machine or long-arm quilted to provide strength and durability.
6. Themed “scrap” quilts are my specialty!  Having a definite color scheme, yet containing many different hues and shades of that color or colors, ensures the quilt will match décor, provides a much more interesting quilt, and enhances the charm of the quilt.
7. I use a double fabric binding technique to provide an extra measure of durability on the edges of the quilt, which are the areas that receive the most wear.  For durability, one side of the binding is secured by machine, but the other side is either machine or hand stitched.
