A friend's son graduated. She'd been saving his high school shirts for years — every team, every event, every worn-out favorite.

I made them into this quilt.

And then he packed it up and took it to his dorm room.

I love that. I love that it went with him. That's exactly what it's supposed to do.

If you have a graduate heading out the door soon, reach out. Let's make something worth taking.

45 years ago this week.

I walked across a stage, took a diploma, and started the rest of my life. I had no idea the road would lead here – to a studio full of fabric, and a calling I didn’t see coming.

Somewhere between then and now, I learned something I wished I’d known at 18: the things we wear carry more than we realize. The jerseys, the spirit shirts, the worn-out hoodie. They hold the time. They hold the person we were.

I get to turn those things into something people keep for the rest of their lives. I believe that’s a gift I was given – and I try to honor it with every project that comes through my door.
To the Class of 2026: you’re about to walk across your own stage. Save the shirts. Someday, you’ll be glad you did.

Wished I would have saved my clothes. Oh, the memories that come to mind when we see certain clothing.

When preparing half square triangles, marking sewing lines is a worthwhile step that yields high-quality results. FriXion erasable pens are my preferred tool for marking fabric, offering easy removal with iron and availability in multiple colors.
And I can’t forget my cute little Lowe’s bucket.
