Believe it or not, our first order for a Christmas 2014 t-shirt quilt came in this past April. The gentleman, wanting a present for his wife, was certainly thinking ahead ! Isn’t is sooo convenient to walk in to a store last minute to shop and buy something, anything, when it’s down to the wire […]

Yes, we did.  This customer wasn’t satisfied with how her t-shirt quilt, from another provider, turned out. So..she brought it to us for an assessment.  We agreed and proceeded to take on the “big re-do”. Yes, we actually took the finished quilt apart, stitch by stitch, seam by seam,  and started all over. First, we cut […]

Back in the day quilting was all done by hand. Can you imagine how long it would take to stitch all of the layers together by hand with a needle and thread to make a bed-size quilt–forever!  Today, in the 21st century, automation makes it possible to stitch those same layers together, in the pattern of your choice, from thousands […]

The rain needs to stop.  It hasn’t let up for the past 2 days. I don’t say any of this too loud. After all, if you complain about the rain in Georgia, what you may get back is…but…we need the rain. Rain is good for the plants and good for the animals that lap rainwater; […]

If you have any travel t-shirts, consider including those in your t-shirt quilt.  These were seen in Germany during Karneval – Fasching.  It was a fun week of parties and parades! If you’re on Facebook more pics were added in the Just-Tshirt Quilts Facebook gallery.

Graduation is right around the corner.  Never fear if you’ve waited until the last minute. With a gift certificate,  it’s never too late.  You’ll have something to give on that special day AND be remembered for giving “the gift of different”. Now with a recent feature change, the dollar amount is no longer is printed on […]

There is a glitch in the order form with a required field. Because it’s required you have to make a choice from the menu even if you’ve found something else and want to post a url.  This is on cue to be fixed. Will post back here when it’s done. Thanks Rhonda for pointing it […]

I very much want to thank those of you that have shown confidence and selected Just T-Shirt Quilts to craft your special t-shirt quilts. The holidays were gloriously busy; and, going into 2014, I am honored to now be the beneficiary of orders received from referrals and repeat orders from satisfied customers.   Several of these […]

I decided to not do any winter shows this year. It’s an extremely busy time of year during which we’ll be working hard to complete t-shirt quilts in time for the holidays.  I will post here for any shows entered in 2014.

Hope you had a great summer. Here in Georgia, fall is upon us. The leaves are dropping. It just dawned on me how different everything looks once they all fall and the trees are leaf-less. The ground is slowly becoming orange with leaves. When you look up you can now see more sky. It’s pretty noticeable here, […]

This year there is a cut off for getting holiday orders. If you are considering having a t-shirt quilt made to give as a gift, please get your t-shirts to us by us September 20, 2013.  This allows sufficient time to complete a blocky quilt for you to have by the holidays. Other styles may […]

The little town of Roswell, GA, comes alive the 3rd Thursday of the month with what’s like an extended Happy Hour called “Alive After 5”. People congregate in the downtown Historic District after work from 5 – 9. The shops stay open, music and vendors are there. It’s really helped to revitalize this little town […]

If  you left  your  t-shirt remnants with me for recycling after your t-shirt quilt was done,  I wanted to let you know that they will be heading to Habitat for Humanity.  The remnants are those parts left over that didn’t make it into the quilt. In waiting to identify a charity source, I  have amassed quite a […]

A t-shirt quilt !    If you need a big bag like this for whatever, you can get them at Marshalls and TJ Maxx retail stores.  The bag hanging on the door knob with the colorful squares — my favorite — even looks like it was made with a quilt-type pattern on it.  I had to abandon the idea of my own custom […]

Happy New Year!  I hope you are having a good one so far.  A few site changes: in case you came looking for it,  that the “Store” has been retired.   This was necessary as all of the fleecewear that was there was sold out over the holidays and there are no plans to replenish it […]

Hours and more info […]

Be thankful for your friends.  Let them know they’re special.   I found myself immersed in reminders of this as I became part of a mission to create a very special Twilight t-shirt quilt. Erika found me on the internet. Tonya became the local liaison. Suddenly I became connected to a worldwide  “cult” of Twilight fans. […]

Operation Sandbox is dedicated to supporting America’s  troops through the sending of care packages.   This daughter of a Korean and Viet Nam vet will have a booth at this event that is in support of our troops.   If you have a bike come and ride for the troops or just come out and show some love.  Stop by […]

Should I sign up for a Beer Festival?  Yes.  No.  Maybe.  What’s beer got to do with t-shirt quilts? Plus, it’s supposed to rain. I finally rationalized that it was a good idea and to try it, so I did.  I sent in my registration fee. It ended up being a good decision. The Great Atlanta Beer […]
