But that's about to change . . .

• Easily quilt one shirt at a time YOURSELF on your domestic machine
• Add embellishments such as applique or decorative stitching
• Enhance the memories of each event by telling its story in the quilting design
• Make smaller quilts or pillows with a few t-shirts, then add more as your t-shirt collection grows.
• No big, heavy, stretchy top to fight with
• No need to send it out for quilting

In this class you'll learn how to:

• Quilt one t-shirt at a time on your domestic or longarm machine
  
• Add quilting and embellishments that will enhance the memories of a shirt by telling its story
• Speed-quilt by combining piecing and quilting in one step
• Calculate quilt size and yardage needed
• Plan a layout
• Join quilted blocks to build your quilt
• Make a quilted t-shirt pillow / Take the pillow apart to build it into a quilt later
• For quilters who have not done free-motion quilting before, we'll cover FMQ basics a few simple patterns.

In the in-person class you'll prepare and quilt a single block, then make it into a pillow (or save it for later if you wish). Making a pillow is a great way to enjoy your memories now, then later, if you decide to make a whole t-shirt quilt, you can easily take apart the pillow and incorporate the sections into a quilt. What a great way to build a quilt block-by-block AND enjoy it in the meantime!

In the online class, you'll have multiple weeks to quilt all your blocks and assemble a completed quilt.
