Custom Creations Quality t-shirt quilts, memory quilts, custom or edge-to-edge long-arm quilting services and quilting education plus anything else quilting we can throw in!

I stumbled upon the opportunity of making memory bears when I lost my mom. I had all of her clothes and thought originally I would make a quilt as a keepsake. The problem was there just wasn't enough clothes to make a quilt for everyone I wanted to share a keepsake of mom with. What I did find was that I could use her clothes to make memory bears for those of us who wanted such a treasure. I have

since made bears out of many lost loved one's clothes. I have also used children's sleepers or blankets to make a lasting reminder of when our kids were oh so small. Over the past several months I have expanded my creations to include t-shirt quilts, photo quilts, Christmas ornaments, and doll clothes. Many of us have favorite clothes or blankets tucked away... baby/kids clothes, sports jerseys, team shirts, clothes from loved ones etc. Transform and preserve these items by turning them into a handmade, custom creation. Lots of new creations are in the works!

Took some time off to welcome new grandbaby (he's so precious!) complete a teaching gig at MO Star (what fun!), and help with quilt show for guild (such a talented group!). I have a few new orders in the door and have room for five more this fall. If you'd like on my list, let me know. I'd be happy to be part of your quilt's journey!

Started the quilt show yesterday by earning the Judge's Choice award and finished it by adding the People's Choice ribbon! Our guild is small but mighty, an amazingly talented and hard-working bunch. I joined this guild 7 years to learn more about quilting. While I have improved my skills tremendously, the everyday friendships and support these members offer is priceless.

Just sitting down after a whirlwind two weeks, WOW is all I have to say! Spent the 1st week of June welcoming our 2nd grandson into this world. 5 weeks early and a blessing beyond words, Oliver James joined us on June 2nd.

Week 2 was spent in Hamilton, MO at Missouri Star Quilt Co teaching four classes. Missouri Star's atmosphere and hospitality is hands down 2nd to none! The chance to be in front of students from all over the country and quilters from all skill levels may have taught me as much as I taught them. I already have ideas for next year! Special shout-out to Beth Cooper for her support and encouragement. Everyone needs that Beth Cooper friend in their life!

I'll be heading back to Missouri Star in September for their Birthday Bash, which I'm told is an event you just have to experience. The whole town is a party. There a a few spots left if you want to join me, see flyer below!

This four day weekend has been wonderful! I ended every evening working on Oliver's Christmas stocking. It looks like good progress but I'm only on step 27 of 114. 😳 Closing out this Memorial Day remembering all those who gave their life for our freedom. Freedom hasn't been free. 🇺🇲
