Di I have to thank you. I have a garbage bag full of my baby brothers t shirts. I have had them for 5 years. Every time I go to cut them find myself just crying and I just can't cut them. I do not want anyone to either. I know it's silly after all this time. He was so full of life n love. To see those quilts bring smiles to the families I have decided to start my brothers memory quilt. I'll think of all the good times n fun we had esp as kids. Thank you!!!
That’s the way to be rose! Like I said, in my video, I am constantly thinking of the person whose clothing I’m working with great memories. Then when I give it away to the recipient, oh my gosh that’s another wonderful experience. Enjoy the process and thank you for watching😊❤️🐥
Also came across this video to make a memory quilt of my late dad's clothes. Sending love ❤️
Just fold them up and put them safely away. The day may come when you are ready.
I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed .Tragic stories but then quilts are made for remembering and comfort. 🙏💟
What treasure for those families that have lost a love one to have and cherish.
The instructions you give make it sound so doable thank you ❤
Thank you for watching Jane, I appreciate it. They are very doable and I’ve made so many, and if I can do it I think anybody can.😊❤️🐥
Very good instructions to follow 💖😁
Thank you. Making a memory quilt for parents who lost their 8 year old daughter to a horrible illness. I have a way better idea now on how to proceed. Bless you.
Good luck with that quilt Linda, and thank you very much for watching my channel.😊👍🏼♥️🐥
Wow! You are amazing! All I needed was how to adhere the backing on the squares. Some videos did not mention the stabilizer. Next! I found you who covered the subject perfectly. Good voice, simple instructions and clarity. Thank you for giving me the confidence to finish this Memory Quilt.
You’re welcome, Bekki, and I’m glad you found me. Thank you for watching my channel and for commenting.
Love the handiwipe! I made a t-shirt quilt for my hubs this Christmas. I’ll have to send you a pic. He cried! It was a hit! ❤ So right with the layout! I can’t tell you how many b:w photos I took!
That’s awesome he loved it so much, Cathleen. I’d love to see your quilt. Please email a picture and thanks for watching my channel.😊❤️🐥
Thank you so much for this video. I am, as I write this working on a t-shirt quilt with my husband’s shirts. He passed away in October 2022 and I’m just now feeling up to doing this. Thanks again for inspiration.
You’re welcome Lynn, I hope it helps. Sorry about your husband. it’s tough & I’m glad you’re working with his shirts now. Thank you for watching😊❤️🐥
This was great. Thank you. I have a cousin who passed away and so making a memory quilt for my aunt and uncle. This was good to have ideas when you don’t have a lot to work with
Miss Di you are just a little Stud Muffin!! Such a great tutorial on making a T-shirt quilt. You make it sound and look much easier than I thought. Thanks for always giving us new insight and fantastic tutorials. Love love loved this one! 🥰🥰🤗
Awe thanks Debbie 😎👍🏼❤️🐥
Thank you so much for your help with the T-shirt quilt! I love the idea of balancing the quilt with the 6 1/2 and 12 1/2 inch blocks! This is just brilliant! It gives variety and flair to the traditional format! I too am working through the grief of losing the friend that the quilt is in honor of. So it's been really hard for me to start. But I feel buoyed by your positive attitude and your respect for those you honored with the memory quilts that you have made. I know I can do this. Thank you so much! Blessings to you!!!
I’m so sorry you lost your close friend, it’s quite emotional and cathartic to make these quilts from our dear ones clothing. I’m glad my video encouraged you, I know you can do it to.🤗❣️. 😊❤️🐥
Wonderful tutorial on "T-shirt" quilts. I really liked the fact that you showed us how to prepare different types of fabric for the quilt top. Your tip on using the handi-wipes was fabulous! The quilt top with just one T-shirt was inspirational! Thanks for showing us how to do these types of "memory" quilt tops.
You are so welcome Vicki :) !! Thank you for taking the time to let me know you like my videos :) It means a lot to me!
Ive repurposed so much clothing in my quilting journey. Stretch leggings in lycra make good hair scrunchies. Im just about to make a string of bunting for our public pool cafe. And work shirts into shopping bags. I never waste anything in textiles. I have a tub of chopped T shirts to do quilts for homeless people. It doesn't have to be a memory quilt if it's going to a good cause.
You’re my kind of sewist, Anita❣️ weight to stay busy, and to be a giver. I appreciate you.🐥❤️😊
What a blessing to those families that you were able to make these beautiful quilts. 💕
Thanks Jan 🥰😳🐥

Thank you for showing us how easy it can be to prepare the t-shirts and other clothing. I never thought of using things like leggings, but wow... it works!
I was given such specific pieces of clothing for those quilts so I had to figure out a way to use it all. Thanks for watching a Stella.😊❤️🐥

Best t-shirt video I've watched, and I've watched many. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mickey. I’ve made a few in my life time so I feel qualified to speak out about them. Thanks for watching😊❤️🐥
I found it difficult to do T-Shirt quilts because the logos on x_large shirts were up to 16". also, I wanted to vary the colors in the rows and vertical. I enjoyed your standard size t-shirts, but I have shown off t-shirt quilts. Good lick to those who want to do t-shirt quilts.
It is a challenge, thanks for watching 😊❤️🐥
Thank you for such straightforward and easy to follow directions.
Your quilts are beautiful. 💜

I’ve done some tee shirt quilts that the recipients were happy with but I was not so much. After watching your tutorial, I feel I am ready to do again. How do you incorporate sweat shirts with tees?how do you quilt once pieced?
In the video on the very first pink quilt that I show, there are two sweatshirts, a bunch of leggings and everything else clothing related, in fact, a pair of fleece PJs, That was the aqua block. The colors and texture were all over the board so I used the sashing’s to tie them together. It was pink grunge by Moda. Then I quilt on my Gammill Statler. I had cuddle on the back, and it just sails right through my long arm. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.😊❤️🐥
You made lovely quilts with a real mish mash of different types of fabric. These must have been emotionally very difficult to make. It’s a huge responsibility cutting up a loved ones favourite clothes.
The handiwipe looks like it is basically made from the same stuff as non woven interfacing, without any adhesive obviously. In the U.K. we call them J cloths. Once you’ve used woven interfacing you won’t want to use non woven interfacing again for quilts or quilted items. It gives strength and structure without the stiffness and the interfaced fabrics don’t get those awful papery creases that you can get with fabrics interfaced with non woven interfacing. Especially good when making anything that has to be turned right sides out. They also retain a nice soft drape.
Thank you, Yes, it was certainly a mish mash. The SF101 is a light woven interfacing. It’s my fave. Thanks for watching from across the pond😊❤️🐥
The t-shirts I have the designs are in various sizes. I don’t want to lose the designs so I’m thinking of using the largest design and then making the smaller blocks the same size by adding borders if t-shirt material. What do you think?
That’s a great solution Lyn I say go for it. Remember there’s no pattern and the person you’re making the quilt for is going to adore everything you’ve done and be so thankful for the quilt. Thank you for watching.😊❤️🐥
I tried a tshirt quilt I think the interfacing wasn’t right makes a huge difference thanks for your hints
Yes, the right interfacing or not using interfacing is the key to a good T-shirt quilt. Thanks for watching.😊❤️🐥
I've done a couple of T-shirt quilts and gave a couple more in the queue waiting. We have pretty similar methods , but I approach cutting a little differently. I just received a box of clothing that will be the most challenging as the clothes are my Mom's. She passed just after Thanksgiving. I might have to send it out for the quilting...pretty sure there's going to be some tears and a few laughs in those seams--- happy new year to all the Chicks.
When I make one my thoughts are all about that person if I’ve known them. Your quilt will be a challenge, my condolences on losing your mom. They’re very special, hugs. I’d put Cuddle on the back and love to quilt it for you. My website is the place to start. Thanks for watching.

How do you decide the amount to charge if someone hires you to do a memory quilt? Thank you.
It’s a long answer. Please email me.TFW😊♥️🐥
Is there a way to estimate how much filling and how much backing you’ll need? Someone is asking me to make one and I’m not sure how to estimate the cost of the backing and filling.
Do you have a finished size for the top? You will need that first. Measure the backing and batting to be 4” bigger, on all sides than the quilt top.
Di, what am essential tutorial. I have been wanting to make one. I am thinking of novelty fireman blocks and t shirts he wore during his 25 years. He is retiring next January.
That sounds amazing, fun and he’ll love it Sara! What I didn’t talk about was the Cuddle backing I always put on the back of these quilts. It makes the quilt so cuddly and soft, they’ll love it even more. Thanks for watching😊❤️🐥
I cannot believe how many people think it is necessary to use stabilizers. A tsirt quilt without stablizer is easier to construct, less expensive, faster to finish, and last & most important softer and much more comfortable to use.
If you have beefy tees and not super fine, thin skinny tees. I had a customer bring one to me for quilting with no stabilizer, and it was a nightmare quilting it because I had to have my hands on the quilt almost the entire time because she didn’t control, the weave with stabilizer. Now some shirts are fine without, it all depends on the shirt.
I've probably made 50 tshirt quilts. This doesn't count the ones others have brought to me to be quilted. Except a see-thru I've never found the need for it. Never had a problem because of no stabilizer.
I guess I'm reacting because of a stabilized quilt brought to me last month-it was so heavy I felt like I was wrestling a bear😂.
No criticism intended. I enjoy your videos.
❤️🩹🥰
Thanks 😊❤️🐥
