How to Get Started
A deposit of 50% is required to begin the process. Payment can be made by cash, check or money order.
Pick out the shirts you wish to have included in the quilt (it is wise to include a few extras). Freshly launder the shirts. Do NOT use fabric softner. I highly recommend using Oxy Clean to brighten the fabric and remove stains. They don't have to be perfect, some stains add character! I do not recommend including shirts where the logo/design is peeling off or heavily damaged.
Do NOT cut the shirts apart. Please provide them whole and recently washed.
Do NOT use fabric softner on the t-shirts.
Shipping and Handling
If you do not live locally (Louisville), place the washed and dried t-shirts in a sealed plastic bag, then carefully box and ship it to Quilted Joy at 211 Dunbar Place, Louisville, Ky 40243. Return shipping will be $15 for one quilt. $7 for each additional quilt.
Upon arrival of your shirts, I will contact you via e-mail or phone to discuss design, fabric choices (color and pattern/theme) and production timeframe. When your quilt is done, I will e-mail you a digital photo of the quilt and let you know the balance due. The quilt is shipped when final payment is received.
How high is the stack of t-shirts in your closet? It's impossible to wear them all, but wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the memories they bring? Maybe it was a special family vacation, basketball tournament, running event or you are looking for the perfect graduation gift.
A t-shirt quilt allows you to enjoy these special memories in a whole new way, as a comfortable couch throw, on a bed, in a dorm room or camper, or displayed on a rec room wall.
