T-shirt quilts can creatively be expressed in several ways:
high school or college shirts
sports teams
work logos
t-shirts from a vacation (i.e. Disney shirts from a vacation)
concert shirts
There are so many ways to creatively put together a group of memories, experiences and occasions thru the medium of sewing and quilting. During a consult, we will talk about theme (what kinds of shirts do you have?), color choices, fabric selection (cotton, flannel and what kind of batting). Prices are listed below as a guide. Please request a personal estimate as each quilt is unique and has its own specifications!

MEMORIAL QUILTS
Memorial quilts are similar to t-shirt quilts in that they use clothing that communicates and cherishes special shared memories but are different in that they are made in honor, or in memoriam, of someone. These projects I hold dear because I know the significance of being trusted with these clothing pieces, and do my very best to finish the quilt in a way that bring comfort and peace. Memorial quilts use the same pricing guide as above but can also be altered depending on what clothing you provide. I did a memorial quilt as a present for my daughter made out of aprons. You might have Sunday dress shirts, aprons, work shirts in addition to T-shirt’s that a loved one wore. Again, asking for an estimate is always best. Additionally, please see our “Embroidery Services” page to find examples of ways you can personalize a memory quilt. CaroleMakes can embroider their name, dates of their life, and even their own handwriting!
