When I meet with someone to plan out their memorial quilt, it is often emotional. As the stories start to come out about why these items mean so much, the heaviness often turns to a flood of happy memories. My goal is to make a quilt that holds those wonderful snippets of life.



It’s wedding season! This small batch was a ‘let’s see how they taste…’ I hope they pass the taste test 🤞🏼

As many of you know, I don’t ‘advertise’ - my work comes to me by word of mouth. When a new “pocket” of orders for quilts spring up, I am so appreciative because that means someone liked their quilt enough to share my name with their friends. Thank you to everyone who has shared my website, Facebook posts, name/email with others. You are the reason I get to call this lovely adventure my “job” 🩷

Check your pockets! When I am making memory quilts, I find toys, tissues, earrings, socks, dryer sheets and sometimes money in sweatshirt pockets! I always check before cutting into clothing and will always return treasures that I find 🙂

HAP is a wrap! The cookie craziness is over for now - back to quilt mayhem! I’ll be averaging a quilt per day for the rest of the month - yikes!!! I plan to make a quilt today but I am taking the day off tomorrow!

Another lap quilt made with a small collection! Only 7 shirts went into this one. Think about that collection of t-shirts that you couldn’t part with - in a closet, on a high shelf, in the basement storage… you could turn them into something functional and appreciate the reminder of those good memories!

It’s okay if you don’t have a huge collection! A basic lap quilt takes 12 graphics (remember! Each side of a shirt counts as a graphic - so you can make it to 12 if you only have 6 shirts with fronts and backs!)
