Her Mama wrote a sweet note and I attached and embroidered it to the quilt.

    I loooove your version of the tshirt quilt. I just went through my 2 boxes of tshirts saved up from my sport years, I was going to take a picture of them and part with them, but decided to keep them and make a quilt. I am sooo glad you made this quilt before I did!!!!! BEAUTIFUL as always.

    I love the grey and yellow, its such a fun combination. I made a t-shirt quilt ages ago and it definitely is not even close to how beautiful this one is!

    Shawn, thank you for making this Christmas a memorable one. Katie was like me when she saw the quilt - shocked and amazed. It is absolutely beautiful! The love you put into the quilt shines through. We are still in awe of it.
