SCROLL DOWN TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN WIN A $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE FROM CAMPUSQUILT.COM

My daughter kept a lot of things for a long time when she was growing up. Sheet music from songs she sang in show choir, book reports, ribbons, trophies…you name it, Katie saved it. When she left for college, I was finally able to give her room a long-overdo makeover. I jammed all of her stuff on the new shelves and in the cabinets, and each time she would return home for a visit she would toss a few more items – a packet of ninth grade English class work (sorry, Dr. Coriaty!), a pile of MYART scripts (a great children’s theater program), a bunch of paperbacks from middle school.

One of the things she kept, high up on a shelf in her closet, was her t-shirts. A lot of them. They represent the history of her life. This is where Campus Quilt came in. Campusquilt.com can be seen in Real Simple magazine.

This is Katie in her first MYART show, The Wizard of Oz (she was a flower!).

And this is the t-shirt from that show.

If you have kids, you know what I’m talking about. From pre-school on, there’s a t-shirt for every.single.activity. Every one. Camp, school, sports teams (go Packers! go USC!), family vacations, little league, school clubs…need I go on? Some kids outgrow their shirts and never look back, tossing them when they’re too small or not important anymore. Not Katie. She kept a lot of them, including every softball jersey she ever wore and every MYART show she was ever in.

When she came home from college, Katie had amassed a collection of t-shirts from her school and her sorority that was, to put it mildly, out of control. It seems that every sorority event has it’s own special t-shirt, along with sweatshirts, hats, mugs, shot glasses (of course) and more. Katie knew something had to be done about all of this paraphernalia, and so did I, so we found Campusquilt.com.. The process for ordering the quilt was simple…choosing the t-shirts was not. Katie arranged and rearranged the shirts a few times, just to make sure the quilt would look perfect.

Today Katie’s Campus Quilt arrived – and it’s beautiful. The company did a great job of communicating with us about colors, quilting, backing, and more. When there were questions, they quickly responded. We chose to do the 20 square tv watching quilt with sashing, but there are other sizes available as well. I am thrilled with Katie’s quilt, and she is too.

Katie’s finished quilt!

I’m excited to be able to offer my readers the opportunity to win a $100 gift certificate to Campus Quilts. Just leave me a comment! The winner will be chosen on Monday, July 16, 2012.
