BIG
Crowd Pleasers
This month has been filled with making very large
quilts! Many full size, queens, and large baby quilts have
kept MQBM very busy! Lots of these quilts will be given as
graduation gifts at graduation parties. These one-of-a-kind,
custom, handmade quilts are sure to please the graduate and the
crowd!
I have taken some of the quilts on a few photo field trips ;) I
hope you enjoy the photos in this newsletter! I am running out of
places to take my quilts!
If you are interested in a Memory Quilt, for any occasion, please
contact me ASAP so that I can add you to the list. Currently, I
have 16 quilts on my schedule. Turn around time is about
10-12 weeks. Grad quilts can still be made for mid to late summer
grad parties or just in time to go off to college in August.

Quilt
of the Month
I have
chosen this traditional style, full size Memory Quilt made for a
California football player who is about to graduate from high
school. What a story this quilt tells! This quilt measures
85" by 95" and is full of football pride! It is
backed with a perfect green that was selected by the boy's
grandmother!

Two
Styles
That honor
a mother gone too soon. Embroidery was added to make these
quilts that much more special. Love how they turned out so
different yet so beautiful!

Baby
Quilts: Cuteness Overload!
MQBM has
made 3 large baby quilts this month-all in the modern style. But
each ones tells a different yet beautiful story. There are many
hours devoted to these precious quilts!

Baby
Quilts take a long time to make, but turn out gorgeous. All three
of these quilts are big enough to fit on twin beds.

Design
Team
What sets me
apart from other t-shirt quilters is how I include you, the customer,
in the design phase of the quilt. This takes time, but is worth
it. I like having your input in the quilt design. Once I begin
your quilt, you receive several emails with pictures of the quilt
layout. The picture shown below to the left is an initial layout of
shirts, the picture to the right is the layout in block form.
These are emailed to you for your input.
This process gives you an opportunity to change the position of the
shirts and the overall look of the quilt. No sewing is done
until you sign off on the layout. There are no surprises here at MQBM
and this communication and effort ensures that you get the quilt that
you always envisioned!

Photo
Quilts
I
have a love/hate relationship with photo quilts. I love the way
they turn out, but they are incredibly difficult and expensive to
make. But the end result of this quilt could not have come
out better. The pictures tell the story, but so do the three
school shirts that this very special godmother attended or worked
at. What a special birthday present!

Making
the Cut
Many
people ask me if they should cut the shirts before they send them
to me. Please do not do this. It is better for me to do
it because the quilts contain different size blocks and at this
early stage it is unknown where each shirt will be placed.
Plus I can center the graphics and logos more accurately if the
shirts are uncut. So, just send the shirts to me and let me do all
the work ;)

The images
on the left were cut by a customer with good intentions, the images
on the right were cut by me with the quilt design in mind.

Another
Full Size Traditional Quilt
What
a great graduation gift for a very special young man! Kudos to the
mom for keeping the many precious items seen in this quilt.

Footsie
Pillows!
Are simply
adorable and a perfect way to use the precious footsies from the
baby quilts!

The
envelope style back is used so that the pillow top is easily
removed and washable.
