Join us this Saturday and make your very own T-Shirt Quilt! For the entire day at Hello Stitch, we will be focused on helping you make your own t-shirt quilt. You bring the tees, we'll have the supplies and support you'll need to get the job done. We even have a special magical tool just for making t-shirt quilts! Our die cutter can cut your shirts into perfect 12" squares, making the whole process of making your quilt so much easier.⠀ ⠀ T-shirt quilts are a great present for new college students. Do something that reminds them of home and how much you LOVE them! And it doesn't hurt that they'll be reminded of you every time they see your gift. 😉⠀ ⠀ Come for the whole day, or just drop in for a few hours, it's your choice. Anyone 8 and older is welcome to join us. (If you're under 18, you'll need to have a parent accompany you.) This event is free for members and $25 for everyone else. RSVP to hold your spot!
