Is there a pile of special clothing or T-shirts sitting in the back of your closet waiting for help and inspiration?   Join our class and learn how to plan and prepare your keepsakes, turning them into a finished quilt that will have sentimental and practical value. 

Class fee covers both days and included the pattern. The quilt in the picture is the pattern that will be used.  The knit interfacing is available at the shop. 

Class #1 will help decide your quilt layout. You will also learn how to select coordinating fabric for borders, sashing, binding, and backing.  Before you leave your first class you will have cut prepared your t-shirts for cutting into their required size (or sizes).

Class #2 will require you to bring all your prepared t-shirts, cut into their appropriate sizes, to class along with fabric for borders, blocks and backing.  By the end of class students should have a completed t-shirt quilt top. ( Depends upon students complete homework)
