I will sew a patchwork quilt-remembrance from your old t-shirts or children's

I'm a patchwork master and I transform things that are too good to throw away into a warm quilt that will actually be used. It could be a box of favorite t-shirts — concert ones, sports ones, just memorable ones — or a box of baby bodysuits that your child has outgrown long ago. In any case, I wash, reinforce with interfacing, and hand-cut each piece, plan the placement of patches, and only then sew and quilt all the quilt layers by hand.

This isn't assembly line work on a machine running non-stop. I build your quilt patch by patch at my table: stretched knit from an old t-shirt or delicate cotton from baby pajamas requires a different approach, so where the fabric is too thin or stretchy, I reinforce the seam with interfacing and an extra stitch. Before I start sewing, I'll coordinate the patch layout with you so the finished quilt truly tells your story, not looking like a random collection of squares.

We'll select the quilt size based on how you'll use it — a throw for an armchair, a bedspread for a sofa, or a full-size bed quilt. Before starting, we'll discuss fabric preparation, backing and binding options, and timeline.

— Free consultation on layout, size, and fabric choice
— Washing, reinforcement, and hand-cutting your items
