Learn to Make a T-shirt Quilt! Plus more upcoming classes and sew alongs!





Raise your hand if you have a heap of t-shirts you've been saving for a quilt (or two... or twenty-two). Did your hand go up as quick as mine? I've got a large bin of t-shirts just waiting and some idea as to how I would like them to look. So what's the hold-up? I've never made a t-shirt quilt before and honestly I'm nervous about cutting into those treasured T's. After all, each one holds special meaning and what if I ruin them simply because I don't know what I'm doing. Our friend Cheryl Wallin has made many t-shirt quilts through the years and has discovered a tried and true method for creating awesome t-shirt quilts perfect for gifting! Would you like to learn? Sign me up!

Cheryl will be hosting a class Friday, October 30, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm here in one of our retreat rooms! Register today and start gathering those sentimental T's. You'll want to give them a good washing then bring them to this all-day class where you'll learn to breathe new life into something special that might other wise sit unappreciated in a drawer. Cheryl will go over everything you need to know to make your own unique t-shirt quilt. She will teach you how to figure your cutting sizes and introduce you to a super cool set of templates that simplify the process immensely! They're so cool, you'll likely want to invest in a set especially if you plan to make more t-shirt quilts in the future. You will also learn how to stabilize and configure your blocks into a pleasing layout. Then start sewing those T's together!


T-shirt quilts are a perfect gift for graduates using all those high school or college event T's and jerseys! They're also a wonderful way to wrap someone in the memory of a loved one. Maybe you have a collection of vacation shirts from your favorite destinations. How about a quilt made from those iconic collectable concert T's? My t-shirt stash includes several vintage Star Wars t-shirts worn by my sons. They've been fans since birth so the shirts vary from toddler to teenage sizes. How will this range of sizes come together in a quilt? I'm excited for Cheryl to help me figure it out so we can enjoy the memories as a family.


Lexi Lamb was recently asked to make a t-shirt quilt for a fellow SHHS Skyhawk grad. Hearing of Cheryl's expertise, she called for help and can now attest to the ease of Cheryl's technique. She'll tell you there's no better way to ensure those T's finish perfectly and now her friend can treasure those victory shirts in a new way. Once you learn how, you'll want to whip up t-shirt quilts for everyone on your list! Sign up today!
