Person or company to make a T-Shirt Quilt
Hello,
We'd like to have a t-shirt quilt made from some of our daughter's childhood memory t-shirts. Can anyone recommend a local person (or company) who can do this? (or if you didn't find a local company, but used a mail service, which did you use?) We are looking for someone to design and sew the quilt, from t-shirts we provide. If you have made use of such a person or company, how much did it cost? Thanks for any advice or recommendations you can provide.

I used project repat online. It was very easy. They have deals all the time. I was very happy with the product.
The Cotton Patch is a quilting store in Lafayette on Brown Street. They may be able to help you find someone. FWIW: I made one of these myself, as a graduation gift for my son. I am not particularly crafty, though I learned to sew straight seams on a machine in Home Economics under duress in Junior HIgh School in 1971 (ah, the days before Title 9...) and do have a (very ancient) sewing machine. I cut the shirts, made equal-sized panels with each, and then sewed the panels together with a strip between them. I paid someone I found at the Cotton Patch to do the quilting and finishing. It is not perfectly done, but the imperfections are part of the charm. It's really not hard to do. I could show you the quilt, show you how to do the panels, and lend you my machine if you want to give it a try.
What a sweet idea!
I'd recommend talking to the folks at Hello Stitch. It's a new sewing studio on University and they do a lot of quilting (classes, custom projects, etc). They have beautiful quilt projects on display all the time...
