Woman Owned Business

I design and make my own quilts. My products include items not found on the site yet. They include baby quilts, lap quilts/throws, Christmas tree skirts, bed quilts (twin and queen), placemats, table runners, some african themed wall-hangings, black history quilts and Kwanzaa quilts. Those will be coming to the site soon.

Occasionally I find a design I like by another person and will write to them for permission to use their pattern to create quilts and sell them. So when you see 'design used with permission . . .' you'll know it is someone else's design.

What's in a Quilt?

I design and quilt all of the personalized quilts offered.

For people new to quilts and quilting - a quilt is 3 layers: a top layer which usually has a pieced design, a middle layer of batting (either cotton, wool, polyester, or silk), and the third layer is the backing. The 'quilting' is the stitching that holds all 3 layers together and is done in some design that enhances the design on the quilt top.

All of my quilts are created using 100% cotton fabric and I use cotton batting as well. This is simply a personal preference. Quilts can be made of many different types of fabrics.

Here is a sample of Custom Photo Quilt created for a child's first birthday that includes 14 photos and her name.

Photo Transfers - The Process

I use photo transfer paper by Transfer Magic. I've been using their paper since I began selling these quilts and I always get great results with it.

Photos are unharmed because I simply make a copy of whatever photo you send, then transfer it to 100% cotton fabric.

Even if your photo is very small (or very large) - it can be enlarged (or reduced) in the copy phase to fit into whatever design is being used.

The transfer process I use - allows the fabric to be washed and dried - many of the ink jet transfer papers require dry cleaning only - I don't use those.

So your photo quilt can be washed and dried and even ironed as long as you put a plain piece of cotton over the photo when you iron it and remove the fabric right away - this technique also removes the lines that sometimes show up from folding your quilt for packing and shipping.
