Hi! I'm Patsy Howard and I'm so glad you want to know more
about T-Shirt Quilts. I live in Snellville, GA and have lived in the Atlanta, GA
area all of my life. I have a bachelors degree in Journalism from Georgia State
University.
I really enjoy making T-shirt quilts because I get to meet a
lot of interesting people. I take a great deal of pride in my workmanship. I
realize these T-shirts represent very important personal memories for my
customers. I don't dare mess them up.
These quilts are all individually hand made for my
customers. I can use previously cut shirts, tank tops, sweat shirts, child
sizes, cotton and polyester, scarves, ties and almost any other thing you may
have. I can repair holes in shirts and rebuild torn shirts to a certain extent.
You have complete control over the fabric used for the sashing and backing. If
the quilt is a gift I will commemorate the occasion, name the gift giver and the
recipient on the quilt label.
I have been making quilts for my customers since 1997. my
first quilt was for my husband who collects t-shirts like a magnet. Shortly
after that my daughter was born and I quickly tired of the day care/full time
job grind. I knew there had to be a better way to do my share for the family
budget and keep her with me. I had the sewing background I needed and saw that
T-shirt quilts would be a great way to work at home. I have since quit my job to
work full time on quilts, and give 100% attention to my little girl.
