June 3 and June 4 we’ll be at the Virginia Highlands Summerfest. More details here https://vahi.org/summerfest/events Come on out and share your vision! We’ll also have our Big Bags. They’re HUGE…big enough to hold up to a Cali King quilt or 3 18″ pillows! Take your pick of black or blue free with your finished quilt or gift card purchase of $50.
We recently completed a complex project for Alison, a designer. It required 5 of us to complete a full restoration on 2 pillows for her father in Florida. He has had these since college. Together, we did it: an artist, a hand sewer, a hand embroiderer, a precision machine sewer, a project manager and, of course, Alison.
I found this online shortly after we finished this. It resonated with me as a fitting definition of Project Management (PM).
The main objectives and principles behind good project management are as follows:
What did it mean for Alison, or for you? It means that when we start on any project for you, the above principles are incorporated like this:
We depend on each other, so that you can depend on us.
Update 4/10/17 – We will honor appointments set up by 4/15/17 for end of May graduation orders with due dates of May 21 – 31. First come. Please choose from one of these styles: Blocky, Close Blocky or Masonry in the area of 20 shirts with a simple stitch pattern. Today is the day 678-324-8084.
If you are thinking of giving a quilt as a graduation gift, don’t delay, TODAY IS THE DAY ! If we may, allow us to ask for your order sooner versus later. This way your special gift will be ready in accordance with your plans and when you really need it. We have been working on early graduation orders since January. May is also Mother’s Day.
It’s an honor to do work for you, just don’t forget, it has to be made. And, the closer it gets to May, reluctantly we have to then start suggesting how about Christmas, birthday, or another special occasion after May! Thus, getting your order to us by March 31 would be wonderful!
Sincere thanks if we have the privilege of working on your order already. It’s truly a pleasure.
We now have a small selection of solid wide back fabrics available in house. The wide back is used to cover the back of your quilt if we are making a t-shirt or other custom quilt for you. For t-shirt quilts, the price is already included in the base price so if you’d like one of these you just pick out a color and let us know. If you have made your own quilt, Studio E 108″ premium cotton backs are available for $15.98/yd when we are providing digital or free motion long arm quilting for you.
Happy New Year! For the man cave! It’s massive. It ended up being the largest quilt we’ve ever done, but with lots of planning finished it in time for Christmas and shipped it off to Colorado for a surprise gift for an all star hockey player. Have jerseys? Need customizations? We have the talent, space, and time and are ready, willing, and able to create something fabulous for you like this. Click on the pictures to scroll through how we did it! Then find them all. Those you’ve retired can be worn again! Once you get your hands on them call us 678-324-8084.
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. We sincerely appreciate all of you that we’ve had the pleasure to work with in 2016. Thanks so much for trusting us to create something special for you.
If you are considering having us work for you, do know that we aim to please and are continually looking for ways to improve and provide the very best work possible for you. To that end, in 2016, we now have 2 artists working with us during the design and prep phase of getting your project started. We have a seamstress that has 35+ years of professional home decor sewing experience. We invested in new hardware — a bobbin camera to see live how the quilting is looking on the back of your quilt as it’s being quilted. We moved ! Our new location is just right for meeting with you and getting the work done to finish your project.
Know that a team is behind your project and that we’ll try very hard to exceed your expectations. Satisfying you is a priority, and we’ll work closely with you to make you happy and deliver quality work that you can be proud of.
Presently, we’re taking a short break after the busy holiday season. We re-open January 3rd and look forward to the chance to exceed your expectations in the New Year. Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2017 !

If you have race numbers, you could make a quilt out of just the numbers if you want. We take the time to prepare them professionally so that they won’t fade or bleed; and, once sewn into your quilt will last a long, long time. The shirts earned from running all these races, plus the race numbers, will be going into a very memorable running quilt — with 2 more just like it to follow. (She runs A LOT!) Actually, in addition to the race numbers and the shirts, we can include anything else we can sew down — patches, hats, windbreakers. It’s a great way to preserve all of your memories! Also makes a thoughtful gift for children or family members that run, too!
Update 11/13/16 – Nothing is left to chance when it comes to meeting your deadline. A Progress Plan is in place to get there, and I am happy to say that we are on track to have all holiday orders and then some completed on time. Plus our professional team is ready, willing, and able to take on more. Sooo what’s your vision? Today is the day!
I hope this message finds you safe and well. If you’re thinking about that extra special holiday gift, we can get it done for you in time now. It IS October so best to not delay. There are only 78 days until Christmas, and the sooner you get your shirts to us, the more likely you’ll have it when you need it. An appointment is a great way for you to let us know you’re coming so that we can set aside the time you deserve. You can also self schedule using for your convenience. Contact
A very special hello to those that we met at the Yellow Daisy festival and Harley shows. It was wonderful to see you and hear your ideas. If you picked up a Show Specials card, that period is in effect. Come on in to take advantage of the specials and get going on your 2017 masterpiece. Be sure to bring your card. Today is the day! Take a peek at some of our current works in progress. Kyle
The rain didn’t last long enough to stop the fun at the event Saturday. So much enjoyed meeting, eating, talking and hearing all of the family quilt stories!
This is baby Kameron on one of 3 quilts made for Mom.
Such a joy to be around. Here Kameron reached a baby milestone having just learned to roll from front to back and front again. She repeats it over and over. Each time giggling. As if she can’t believe she did it.
Mom and Dad are no longer together. Though divorced, Mom unselfishly cared enough to create the memory quilt. Baby girl will know Dad’s in the Army. He’s athletic. He plays basketball and loves the Oklahoma City Thunder.
She’ll outgrow the baby clothes. The memory quilt… she’ll grow in to. It will last a long time.
Just want to hug her in it and not give her back. She continues to tug at my heart strings.
Thanks Tawanda. What’s your vision?
