I'm not one to get overly sentimental, but there's just something about a t-shirt quilt. If it's mine, then wow. I get to thinking about where the shirt came from, why I would wear it, with whom I would wear it...how long we walked through life together. The works. I love a good memory lane snuggle. If it's somebody else's quilt, then there are SO. MANY. QUESTIONS! It's a good conversation starter, and you really get to know things about your friend that may not have come up otherwise. When I'm sewing a quilt for someone, I get caught up in their stories and take my role as a preserver seriously. I mean, you don't offer up your treasured shirt memories to be sliced by just anybody! We walk through the process together, the client and I, so that nothing but warm feelings and happy memories reside. I love doing them so much that my business goal is actually to slowly convert most of my projects to this one outlet. It'll be amazing, this journey I've started.
Hello, all!
