T-Shirt Memory Quilt 4-Day Workshop

T-Shirt Quilt – Turn Your Memories Into a Quilt That Tells Your Story

In this amazing 4-day workshop series, you’ll transform your favorite old t-shirts—concert tees, sports jerseys, vacation souvenirs, or sentimental keepsakes—into a cozy, one-of-a-kind quilt that celebrates your life. This hands-on experience teaches you how to turn cherished garments into a beautiful patchwork filled with personality, meaning, and joy.

Whether you’re commemorating a loved one, celebrating milestones, or simply giving new purpose to shirts you can’t bear to part with, this workshop series offers a heartfelt way to preserve the past while creating something comforting and new.
