The Christmas Season is upon us.  Sometimes this season brings joy and peace and sometimes it brings very hectic schedules.  It is my hope and prayer for you that you would be able to enjoy this time and find moments of peace, joy and enjoying the people around you.

We, at QJ Designs, specialize in making your favorite textiles (t-shirts, ties, dress shirts, etc.) into items that can continue to be enjoyed and cherished.  As Christmas approaches we have less time to complete custom orders in time for Christmas, but if you place an order for an item, we can give you a Gift Letter explaining to the recipient that you have ordered them a very special gift.

We also offer Gift Certificates - for both items and classes.   You can make a deposit on a future item and the recipient of your gift can be involved in deciding what they would like.

Do you know that we quilt and sew -- even when we don't have a specific reason to?  Yes, we do - we love it that much - and you can benefit from that too.  We have some Ready Made Items available for purchase:
       Quilts - Lap-sized, Throws, Wall Hangings, Baby Quilts
       Ornaments
       Tote & Shopping Bags
       Change Purses & Gift Card Holders

Samples of these items are in the Ready Made Items album of our gallery (Link to Ready Made Items).

To schedule an appointment, place an order or for more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Wishing you all a very Merry December.

Quilt Winner!

We had a great time at the West Lampeter Fair.  It was wonderful to meet prospective students and customers.  There was a lot of interest is the quilt we gave away as a free drawing.  And the winner is...... Loretta from Willow Street.  Here is a picture of Loretta just after receiving the quilt:

It's fair season!

I am so excited to announce that QJ Designs will be at the West Lampeter Fair next week - September 24 through 26.  It is a great way to see some of our work in person.  Stop by, say hello.  Be sure to mention that you've visited the website!

Welcome to QJ Designs. We care about you and the special moments in your life. We look forward to helping you celebrate and honor those personal hallmarks by creating customized quilts and items from your special textile items.

Do you have a drawer full of t-shirts from sports events, theater involvement, high school or college? Maybe they are just personal favorites you can't bare to part with, but know you'll never wear. This is the perfect reason to have a t-shirt quilt made.

Want a personal hallmark to remember your birthday, prom, wedding, baptism, or anniversary? Consider having ornaments (or one of our other items) made from your dress, slacks, shirt or tie. They are great as gifts as well.

Maybe you are looking for a tangible way to honor and feel close to a loved one who has passed away. A custom quilt or special item made from their shirts, ties, dresses, etc. might be just the perfect thing for you.

Events to celebrate: milestones, achievements or special occasions such as a birth, childhood, birthday, prom, graduation, athletics, baptism, wedding, anniversary, or retirement. Honor the life of a loved one.

Thread of Life Ministry is our prayer ministry. While we work on your project we commit to spending time in prayer for you and your needs. Please feel free to share any special requests that you may have.

Please look around our site and see some examples of the items we have made. We welcome the opportunity to create a similar item for you. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss the possibility of a project.
