Jessica's Quilt

Jessica had a really neat idea for a quilt. She wanted a "House Divided" quilt. ECU colors on one side and State fabric on the other. I really like the way it turned out.

This one is also a rail fence pattern, which is so nice for college colors!


Here is an up close of the fabrics.


All bundled and ready to be delivered.

Carrie's Quilt

Carrie's Quilt is a lovely tribute to her sorority days at ECU


The back was super cute. Carrie had some little owl fabric shipped to my house from Hancock Fabrics.


There was a little bonus for Carrie, 2 pillowcases!


Here it is, all bundled up and ready to be delivered.


Thanks Carrie! I hope you love it!

Stephanie's Quilt

Stephanie's Quilt is a gorgeous reminder of her sorority days at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Here it is laid out on a Queen Sized Bed.



Here's a look at part of the process that goes into making these quilts...

I stabilize and cut each back with a rotary cutter.

Ta Da! One block ready to be sewn! Only 25 more to go...

For this quilt, I didn't have quite enough shirts to make the size Stephanie wanted so I was able to take the pocket designs off of her shirts and combine them with solid shirt colors to make more blocks!


I added these blocks along with the 26 others to make a nice Queen Size quilt top.


Then, I make a "quilt sandwich": quilt top, batting, and UNC fabric (for the back). I then machine quilt around each square.  Here's a little look at me quilting along...

Finally, I add the binding around the edges and its ready to go!

And here it is bundled up and ready to go!


Here is Stephanie loving her new quilt!

Stephanie's T-Shirt Pillow

Stephanie had 4 shirts from High School she wanted something out of. I thought a long barrel style pillow would be perfect!

Side one: 2 shirt backs


Side two: 2 shirts pieces plus pocket designs

Very cute way to use just a few shirts!

Carolina Courage

This is a quilt I made for a boy who was diagnosed with leukemia. He is a student at the school where I teach and we made a little goody basket for him and this was part of it. It is 44x60, a perfect couch throw.

The pattern is called a Rail Fence in the 3 UNC colors. This pattern is GREAT for college quilts since it uses 3 colors. The back is UNC Chapel Hill fabric.

Here it is, bundled up and ready to go!

Amy's T-Shirt Quilt

Amy's Paul Frank T-Shirt Quilt was the very first T-Shirt Quilt I made. It was 9x9 blocks and I tacked it with buttons, no batting or machine quilting. I really love how it turned out, very fun and playful. The back is lined with a cotton fleece which made it oh so soft and cuddly! Perfect for the couch! Final measurements: 44 x 53

Amy had 15 shirts. I used the front logo for one block and a matching plain colored block out of the back of the shirt.


This is a good picture on the back of the quilt. Kelly Green, one of my favorite colors.


Here is an up-close of the buttons I used to tack the quilt together.

Ava's Quilt

This was the first quilt I ever made as a gift. This is my little cousin Ava's baby quilt. I found the back fabric and then super soft cotton squares to match it. I machine sewed the blocks together and then the quilt was hand tied at the corners with yellow yarn. The binding was attached by machine. It is a simple design but every so cute!
