A little bird told me ....

"I am a very symbolic person, but my driver's license indicates I am too "mature" to display my race t-shirts in a trophy case. So my TWO quilts, beautifully designed and made by Rachel Rogers, are a perfect solution! Plus I get to wrap up with fond memories and deep pride when I snuggle up each night. Thank you, Rachel!" - Lynn Seay, Gainesville, GA
"I first saw another quilt that Rachel did had made and loved it, but I thought that I couldn't part with my sorority t-shirts. But the trouble with sorority t-shirts is that most of them have dates on them, and I started to notice that mine were all 5 to 8 years old. I didn't want to be the old lady in last century's t-shirts! It was tough, but I boxed up the shirts and sent them to Rachel. I am so happy that I did... The quilt turned out so cute! Each panel reminds me of such good times that it's almost like a scrapbook. Plus, it was so soft from the beginning because the t-shirts have been washed for years, and it has continued to get snugglier over the years. Rachel did a beautiful job--highly recommended!!" - Courtney Brevelle Thompson, Jacksonville, FL
"I had the utmost confidence that Rachel Rogers of Little Spinney would produce the finest quality t-shirt quilt and she exceeded my expectations! So much so that I had another one made. I am glad that I saved my college and sorority t-shirts and chose Little Spinney to make my quilts. She will work with you on the design and will produce a keepsake. I absolutely love my quilts and will have them for generations!" - Jamie Smith, Coastal Home Care Business Developer & VP of Savannah Area Chi Omega Alumnae Association, Savannah, GA
"After I graduated from college I no longer wanted to wear my plethora of sorority shirts six out of seven days of the week like I had before, but didn’t want to throw them away either. When I heard about Rachel making quilts I knew it was the perfect way to keep my memories without cluttering my closet. I absolutely love it – it is like snuggling with memory lane!" - Elizabeth Carson, Peachtree City, GA
"I have two t-shirt quilts that Rachel has made for me. We use them year round and love them. One is made from high school shirts and the other is made with college shirts. I love having a great and useful way to enjoy lots of my sentimental shirts. I love sleeping with a quilt so one I use nightly and one stays near our couch. They only get better with use and washings. I know we will be using them for a very long time for comfort and sweet memories." - Nan Pownall, Macon, GA
"I had heard of t-shirt quilts before, but when Rachel Rogers shared that she had made a quilt out of pajamas, my mind visualized the bag of beautifully coordinated pajamas my daddy wore for several years. I love the way Rachel put together the small and large squares using cuffs and pockets as well as buttons. She actually made two quilts out of all the tops and bottoms. Often when my mama, my sister, and I look at the quilt our chatter is filled with funny as well as sweet stories. Daddy loved his pajamas, and we loved daddy! Thank you Rachel for your beautiful work and being a part of preserving our precious memories!" ~ Pat Strain - Fayetteville, GA
"My son, Jason, absolutely loves his quilt and said that you could not have made it better. The plaid on the back matches his living room perfectly and he proudly displays it when he is not using it. It's been so cold this year, so the quilt has been a welcome addition to his bed!" "Also, I could not say more about the Braves quilt that you made for me previously. It is my very favorite blanket and stays on my couch at all times. I'm afraid to take it to a ball game, some one will want it for sure. It is the envy of all my ballgame girlfriends .... I told them they should have saved their t-shirts too!!" ~ Lyn Meyers, Fayetteville, GA
"Rachel did an excellent job on my sorority t-shirt quilt. I'm reminded of fun parties, crawfish boils, and bid days each time I see my quilt. I'm so happy to have all of those t-shirts out of my closet and made into something my whole family can enjoy. My twin girls love playing on my quilt now, and I hope that they'll become Phi Mus at LSU one day, and I can pass it on to them." ~Ashley DeLaureal Foret, Lake Charles, LA
"I have two t-shirt quilts by Rachel. I have a 15 shirt quilt with college sorority shirts and a 12 shirt quilt with church shirts. Not only is Rachel so pleasant and easy to work with, but her quilts are truly masterpieces! I have a puppy who loves my t-shirt quilts, but they are durable enough to withstand his little teeth! I love to wash them because they just get softer and softer, just like an old t-shirt you love to sleep in! And I love to travel with them as they make such a great conversation topic! I love to scrapbook and save memories and the quilts are like fabric scrapbooks!" ~ Krissy Pope Walker, Perry, GA
"I LOVE my quilt that Rachel made me; I totally recommend Little Spinney! It is the quilt I sleep with every night and it is perfect! It is so special to have a blanket with so many of my t-shirts and memories of my years playing soccer, being involved in RUF, and ADPI at Mercer University. The blanket is amazing quality and Rachel really takes the time to choose the right pattern and colors in every quilt she makes! Contact Rachel and buy a quilt today- you will LOVE IT!!!" ~ Whitney Ezell, Charlottesville, VA
