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?

It’s dark. I knock. The door slowly opens. It’s Tom. I’m greeted with a smile.
“We have to stop meeting like this”, he grins.
“ No”, I protest. “I’m actually enjoying this”.
I’ve made a house call to deliver the final masterpiece to Tom. I enter the house. I open the bag. The best smile is the one when he sees his quilt.
Last visit he had joked about making a quilt with arm sleeves like a wing suit like I’ve seen cliff divers wear on TV. In a wing suit he could fly to his North Georgia lake house instead of drive.
The smile means (whew!) he’s not disappointed it’s a regular quilt. Not a wing suit.
“I trust you.” Says Tom.
Tom is 88 years old. He likes traveling, going to his lake house—he drives there; and he likes making model ships. Tom likes sailboats so the quilting pattern is sailboats. The front and back of this quilt was made entirely from his sweatshirts.
We worked with Tom to make a special quilt from his sweatshirt collection. It’s special because it’s all about his life. It’s special because Tom can use it NOW to keep warm by the fire at his lake house. Special because Tom’s great grandchildren can also enjoy his quilt. Later.
Tom tilts his head. There’s a twinkle in his eye as he looks off into the distance “I just realized” he sighs “that I may not live forever”.
“The quilt will outlast me”. He smiles.
Give the gift of different. It’s special.
For you now.
For them. Later.
This was quilt #4 for Tom and partner Sonja.
