An archive of some of the quilts I have made throughout the years and quilts currently for sale in my quilt shop.

 

 

Welcome to my archive of exquisite quilts. Please have a click around and take a look at some examples of the wide range of styles, techniques and themes I work with every day.

​Each quilt is a unique experience, whether created in response to my own creative impulses or commissioned for a client's special request.

I look forward to chatting with you about our next creative project together.

Sincerely,
Barbara

A BARBARA t-shirt quilt is a work of art. The logos on the shirts are cut out in different sizes and shapes, according to the design of the shirt, not just cut into squares and stitched together.
Sashing, the border to each t-shirt logo, is made from high quality 100% cotton using appropriate small patterned fabrics, not plain broadcloth (which is a lot cheaper but much less attractive). Great care is taken in the layout of the logos. Shape, size, colour value and design compatibility and balance are all given careful consideration. High quality, commercial cotton stabilizer backs every shirt, not fabric store dressmaking stabilizer (which is mostly synthetic and can easily stretch or wear out with time).
The actual quilting is done by a highly qualified long arm quilter not by someone just learning to use their machine. Many beginners offer long arm quilting services before they really know how to use their machine properly.
BARBARA understands that your t-shirt quilt is a valuable keepsake of some of YOUR most precious memories and something you will want to treasure forever. She takes as much care with your t-shirts and your quilt as she would her own.
