In addition to longarm quilting, I also make T-shirt quilts from start to finish.  I make them “collage style” using only your t-shirts, no sashing or borders.  All you have to do is send me your T-shirts and I can do the rest!

Step 1: Contact me at em.sess@gmail.com and let me know that you have T-shirts to send. Indicate for what or whom the quilt will be and how many T-shirts you have. I will give you an estimate on the price and time it will take for me to complete your quilt.

NOTE- The sizing below is an approximation. It’s difficult to know exactly what size your quilt will be based only upon the number of T-shirts you have.  If all of your t-shirts are X-large and have very large images on each one, the quilt will be larger. If a lot of your shirts only have a tiny emblem or logo to cut, the quilt will be smaller. And sometimes I only really know how large the quilt will be once the T-shirts are cut and laid out.  However, if you have a size in mind, tell me ahead of time and  I can enlarge or minimize your quilt to a certain degree by adding solid blocks of your T-shirts, or by taking out a few T-shirts.

Step 2: Decide on a backing and binding color. (I can use any solid color that you like, cotton or flannel).   These can be the same color or contrasting colors.  Send a swatch if you want to be specific.  You can also let me know what type of quilting design you’d like (see examples of my quilts for ideas).  I always do a loose, allover design across the quilt to give it a softer, more comfy feel- we don’t want stiff, custom quilting here. And don’t worry, if you have no idea what you want, I can make a recommendation.

Step 3:  Wash and dry all of your T-shirts to prep them for cutting and quilting.  DO NOT CUT any of your T-shirts for me.  Allow me to do all of the cutting and piecing.

Step 4: ALL of the logos and designs on your T-shirts will be used in the quilt unless you specify otherwise.  Mark an X with masking or blue painters tape over the designs on the T-shirts you do not wish to have included. (Avoid permanent marker- it can bleed through)

Step 4: Mail your T-shirts UNCUT and wrapped in plastic inside the box.  Always ship using UPS or FedEX. I find them to be much more reliable with tracking and insurance.

Step 5: Half of the total of the quilt is due before I begin.  You can either include a check with your T-shirts or make a payment to em.sess@gmail.com on Paypal.  The balance will be due before the finished quilt is shipped back to you.

Pricing:

These prices include everything: backing and binding material, quilting, return shipping, and a border if you prefer one.  If your quilt size falls between sizes, I will charge you for the smaller size.
