Son's quilt for local customer

This is a second order from a customer with a beach quilt. I had to wait on this order because I didn't have enough shirts. Somehow she was short 3.
During the waiting process she decided she also wanted a quilt for another son, a queen size with items from him as well as his wife. I am currently working on that one.
When I am done this one family will have four quilts in their home from me. She has passed my information to some friends. I would love to have some more orders. We still have many medical bills coming in and are still catching up from the summer when income was nearly cut in half.

Jewels for Quilting Customers

This is a quilt for a customer that I had last Christmas. She is a friend of a local teacher I had worked with. She ordered a quilt but told me to put it at the very end of my list as orders came in this summer. I told her about my machine issue, extra orders that came in after hers, she wasn't worried, she kept letting me delay her order. This one required a bit more work then normal. Some of the shirts were in rough shape. There were three tanks that really had to be rearranged with pieces of blank shirt backs. 
I am super thankful for understanding people. She still asks how he is doing, prays for him etc. I have two other orders from her. I am truly grateful.
I still absolutely love this fabric. It is so pretty~

Memory Tshirt Quilts

Three quilts for a customer who lost her husband. It was such an honor to make these for her.
She wanted to have an extra quilt so she requested the backs of Tshirts and sweatshirts with a blue fabric for the border. It turned out really pretty. I used a patterned fabric for this one since the shirts were all plain.
She chose two tone on tone blues for the other two quilts. then I took that matching fabric and used it for the binding of the opposite quilt.
She loved them so much and gave an excellent review on my ETSY page.

Fathers Memory Quilt

While I was in the hospital with my husband orders started to come in through my ETSY page 
I was so incredibly thankful for the Lords immediate provision as we tried to figure out how we were going to manage with him out of work for 3 months. I wrote customers immediately and explained there would be a delay and why. They were all so incredible about the circumstances and still placed orders. 
This quilt was with a father's clothing who had passed. I love the patriotic flannel backing.

Trendy Tshirt Quilt

I love this turqoiuse teal fabric. I think it was the perfect fit for this Camo/ FFA style of graduate. 
The brown flannel backing was the perfect combination too.

Mother and Son Graduation Quilts

I had never had this type of order it is a quilt for a son for graduation and also a quilt for mom while he is away at college. What a great idea
I love the flannel for this one, it was so amazingly soft
She wanted a log on the front with his name and i appliqued his little league patches onto the quilt as well
The quilts were made nearly identical, she actually sent the layouts she wanted for both of these
Same backings
same logos

Graduation Quilt with Tie Dye

I love tie dyed shirts, they really add fun to quilts
Taking pictures with so many colors is sometimes an issue with glare
The back flannel was such an amazing blue color. I wish I had been able to buy more

More Graduation Quilts

Even though Tshirt quilts are similar they are very different. Fabric truly helps set them apart
I love these 12 shirt quilts, they are pretty quick to put together and they make the perfect gift

I really love this fabric. It worked really well with the shirts of this order
I was able to take some special pieces and applique them
like this cute little pocket. I love the binding for this quilt as well
Turned out perfectly

His and Her Wedding Quilt

His and Her Wedding Quilt- Nearly Full Size 80 by 88
Nearly every female item was appliqued to fabric because it was desired to have it in its entirety. 
The middle section had a combination of a couple of her shirts and a few of his to unite the quilt. The mother of the bride had precut many items, so it was a different process for me than normal.
There were a couple of His items from baby and younger years, but mainly His items were just Tshirts for the quilt
Not all items that were sent were able to be used, some had lots of sequins which my machine didn't like, others I didn't feel would hold up in the quilt so I returned them rather than chancing it. 
I wrapped the quilt up in a blue border and added a blueberry flannel backing to it. Its my most difficult order to date. Took a full 24 hours to create.

The End of January Quilt Orders

Pez Candy Quilt- this is a quilt that my customer was making with her mother and she passed away. It is a quilt of memories between her and her son. I am honored she chose me for this special quilt.
I found this cute backing that looked like little pez candies, it was nice and colorful and matched her front fabrics well.
Here is a closeup of her fabrics. Super cute.
This is a quilt a girlfriend had made for her boyfriend for Valentines Day.
