-
Wash them please. Any stains you send me will
go into your quilt.
-
Small holes or rips can be repaired for a
small extra charge.
-
Label the side you want to use with masking
tape, otherwise I will use the side I like best.
-
You can cut the sleeves off to save bulk in
packing, otherwise please leave them intact.
-
Tees and sweatshirts can be combined in the
same quilt.
-
Anything that can go into a photo-copier,
including photographs, documents, or medals, can be copied onto fabric. All
documents are returned to you in their original condition.
-
You can provide your own pre-washed backing
if you have a new or nearly-new bed sheet, or some favourite fabric. If the
fabric is not wide enough, there will be an extra charge for piecing the
backing. Patterned backings hide the quilting stitches better.
-
Your quilt will be as washable as the fabric
you send me. Quilt care instructions are sent with each completed quilt.
-
All squares are stabilized on the back so
even if the shirts are well worn the quilt will last a long time.
-
A short personal message such as "Happy
Anniversary from your friends" can be added to your back label, which
will also contain the words “Created by Barbara Elias" and the date
that your quilt was created. The cost of the label is included in the price
of the quilt. More elaborate labels can be created at extra cost.
-
Surface embellishments are fine if it's for a
wall hanging, so please feel free to send me buttons, badges, award ribbons,
etc.
-
Other
clothing items also make great quilts! Men's ties, children's clothes,
granny's aprons or handkerchiefs, can all be included. As these smaller
items take more time and care, price would be by quote.
