Handmade with Heart
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Sew Charlie Ann is a small, family-run shop where every quilt and embroidered piece is made by hand with care — from custom t-shirt quilts that turn your memories into something you can wrap up in, to personalized embroidery that makes a gift truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you for supporting a small business — I can't wait to create something special for you.
Embroidered Gifts
Personalized Reading Pillow
Make reading time even cozier with a custom embroidered reading pillow, made just for you. Each pillow is monogrammed or personalized with the name of your choice, so it's truly one-of-a-kind — perfect for curling up with a good book, propping up for movie night, or adding a personal touch to any bedroom or reading nook.
Whether it's a gift for a child learning to love books or a treat for the grown-up reader in your life, this pillow is made by hand with the same care that goes into every Sew Charlie Ann creation.
Turn a piece of your little one's wardrobe into something you can wear every day. Send in a favorite outgrown outfit, a special onesie, or a piece they've simply grown out of, and I'll carefully cut and appliqué it onto a cozy sweatshirt — giving that fabric a whole new life as a one-of-a-kind "mama" sweatshirt you'll treasure for years.
Each design is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike, just like the memories they're made from.
How it works:
Order your sweatshirt in your size and color.
Mail in the child's clothing item you'd like used (instructions provided after checkout).
I'll appliqué and embroider your custom design, then ship your finished sweatshirt back to you.
Bath time just got more fun! This soft, absorbent hooded towel features a playful embroidered character design on the hood, turning everyday drying-off time into something your little one will look forward to. Whether they're pretending to be a shark fresh out of the ocean or a bunny hopping out of the tub, this towel adds a little extra magic to the routine.
Want to make it even more special? Add a personalized name or monogram to make it uniquely theirs — perfect for keeping towels straight between siblings, or as an extra-special touch for a gift.
Custom Services
Don't let those t-shirts sit in a box forever — turn them into something you'll actually use and treasure. Whether it's a collection of concert tees, sports jerseys, college shirts, or shirts from a loved one who's no longer with us, I'll carefully transform them into a custom quilt that keeps those memories close for years to come.
Each quilt is made by hand, start to finish, with the same care I'd want for my own family's keepsakes.
How the process works:
Reach out — Fill out the inquiry form with details about your shirts (how many, sizes, condition) and what you're envisioning.
Consultation — I'll follow up to talk through layout options, sizing, backing/binding choices, and answer any questions before you commit. If you have a specific layout, please send me a picture. I will do my best to lay it out as you want.
Send your shirts — Once we've agreed on the details, you'll mail in your shirts (instructions provided).
Quilting — I'll cut, stabilize, and piece your shirts into a custom quilt top, then quilt and bind it.
Delivery — Your finished quilt is carefully packaged and shipped back to you, ready to be wrapped up in memories.
Current turnaround time is 4-6 weeks from the time I receive your shirts. If the expected time changes, I will let you know during our consultation.
How pricing works:
A $100 deposit is required to begin your quilt and reserve your spot in the queue. This deposit is credited toward your final total.
The final cost is calculated at $19 per shirt-side used (a front-only or back-only design counts as one side; using both the front and back of a shirt counts as two sides). This rate covers everything — material prep, batting, backing, binding, and the labor to piece and quilt your finished top.
Once your quilt top is complete, I'll let you know the final shirt-side count and total. The remaining balance (final total minus your $100 deposit) is due before shipping.
Example: A quilt using 12 shirts, fronts only = 12 shirt-sides = $228 total. After your $100 deposit, the remaining balance would be $128.
A couple of notes:
Please do not cut your shirts. All preparations and cutting will be done during the design process.
I can use most materials: cotton, jersey, jackets, but please be mindful of zippers and buttons. Most of the time these come off during the quilting process.
Turn your favorite photos and meaningful keepsakes into a quilt that tells your story. Custom memory quilts combine printed photographs, embroidery, and fabric design to create something your family will treasure for generations — perfect for marking a graduation, wedding, anniversary, birth, or the memory of a loved one.
One quilt I made was for a woman who was beginning to forget the details of her own life. Her family chose photos from the years she remembered most clearly, and the finished quilt became something she could hold onto — literally and emotionally. That's the kind of impact a memory quilt can have.
What goes into your quilt:
Photos printed directly onto fabric
Embroidered names, dates, or messages
Your choice of colors and fabric to match the occasion
A layout planned around your story, not a template
How it works:
Reach out — Fill out the inquiry form and tell me about the occasion and the photos or details you'd like included.
Design consultation — I'll work with you to plan layout, colors, and fabric choices before anything is cut.
Quilting — Your quilt is printed, pieced, and finished by hand.
Delivery — Your finished quilt is carefully shipped, ready to be wrapped in memory.
Pricing:
A $100 deposit is required to begin your quilt and reserve your spot in the queue. This deposit is credited toward your final total. Because every memory quilt is fully custom — the number of photos, embroidery details, and size all vary — your final cost will be provided during your design consultation, before any work begins. The remaining balance is due once your quilt top is complete and before shipping.

From a single sentimental gift to a full batch of business swag, I offer custom embroidery on hats, shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and more. Whether you need one item or many, your logo or design is stitched with care and precision — perfect for businesses, teams, events, family reunions, or anyone who wants something made just for them.
What I can embroider:
Hats
T-shirts
Sweatshirts
Jackets
Swag and promotional gear
And more — just ask!
Item options:
You're welcome to provide your own blank items, or I can supply them for you — whichever works best for your project.
How it works:
Send your logo or design — Email your artwork to sewcharlieann@gmail.com, along with the item(s) you're interested in and quantity needed.
Consultation — I'll follow up to confirm design details, thread colors, placement, and whether you'd like me to supply blanks or you'll provide your own.
Embroidery — Your items are stitched by hand on professional embroidery equipment.
Delivery — Finished items are carefully packaged and shipped or made available for pickup.
Pricing & Turnaround:
A $40 digitizing and setup fee applies to each new logo or design, covering the work to prepare your artwork for embroidery.
Standard turnaround time is 1–2 weeks from the time I receive your items. Need it sooner? A rush order (under 2 weeks) is available for an additional 20% of your total order cost.
If you are a past customer and I already have your logo, just send me a message at sewcharlieann@gmail.com to get started on a reorder.
About Sew Charlie Ann
Quilting and sewing found their way into my life about nine years ago, but really, they've been part of my family for much longer. My great-grandmother passed her love of sewing down to my mom, and my mom passed it down to me — so every stitch I make carries a little bit of that legacy with it.
What I love most is the creative side of it all — figuring out how a quilt should come together, choosing just the right colors, watching a design take shape under the needle. My youngest daughter is convinced I can make just about anything, and honestly, trying to live up to that has pushed me to keep growing and trying new things.
Every quilt, pillow, and embroidered gift that leaves my sewing room is made with the same love and care I'd want for my own family — because that's exactly where this all started.
