Heirloom Quality Handmade Fabric Keepsakes

T-Shirt Quilts

My one-of-a-kind T-shirt quilts transform beloved shirts & clothing items into heirloom-quality keepsakes, blending personal history with exceptional craftsmanship. Using premium fabrics to complement each piece, textile artist Barb Patrick creates quilts that are as beautiful to display as they are comforting to use—soft, warm, and stitched with the stories that shaped life’s most memorable moments.

I began my quilting journey 24 years ago when a simple Christmas gift—a sewing machine—ignited a lifelong passion for fabric and textile art. From my historic 1785 colonial home studio in Newtown, Connecticut, I transform cherished fabrics into heirloom-quality creations that are as meaningful as they are enduring. Surrounded by gardens, a red barn, and the crazy energy of her two dogs, Murph and Pippa, I meticulously craft each piece using the finest materials, ensuring it will be treasured for generations. My work blends artistry, personal history, and timeless craftsmanship into keepsakes that tell a story.
