T-Shirt Quilt-Along (Fall-Winter 2026)

Select a Payment Option

Have you been staring at that bag of T-shirts in your sewing room for too long? 

Let's make that T-shirt quilt together, and
get it DONE in time for Christmas!

In this 12-week quilt-along you'll learn my "One Block at a Time" method to make your T-shirt quilt. In the weekly lessons and LIVE Zoom sessions you'll get the personal help you need as we go step-by-step, shirt-by-shirt to a finished quilt!

Live Zoom dates:
Mondays, October 5 through December 21 
3:00 - 4:30 p.m. Eastern
(Some dates may be adjusted to accommodate holidays
Sessions are recorded and available until the end of the quilt-along)

You'll learn how to:

  • Prepare your T-shirts and stabilize them without stabilizer
  • Quilt your own T-shirts -- even if you're a beginner at free-motion quilting!
  • Be creative with your quilting and your quilt design
  • Assemble blocks "quilt-as-you-go"
  • Put the binding on your borders - before the quilt is even finished!

Stop procrastinating! Avoid frustration! Save time & money!

  • No stabilizer to buy
  • No backing fabric to buy
  • No paying someone else to quilt for you

Best of all, you'll have a group of quilty friends
to share the fun and cheer you on!

  • Share your progress throughout the quilt-along
  • Get inspiration from other quilters
  • Celebrate milestones together
  • Show off your T-shirts and finished quilt!

Even if you've already made a T-shirt quilt before, you'll discover a new approach that is much easier to do on a domestic sewing machine.
