Hi friends, Judy here. Picture a Sunday afternoon in New Orleans: the game is on in the living room, somebody is hollering at the referee, and you are two borders deep into a quilt top with your machine humming right along through the noise. If that sounds like your house (it is absolutely mine), then our New Orleans Quilter ~ Game-Day Gear collection was made with you in mind. It is for the quilter in a New Orleans football household who loves the energy of game day... and fully intends to get some piecing done while everyone else watches the clock.
Why this collection exists
Let me say the quiet part out loud: game day is prime stitching time. The TV is on, the snacks are out, and nobody needs you for three solid hours. That is a quilting window if I have ever seen one (yes, I have planned whole projects around a kickoff, and I regret nothing). Somebody had to put that truth on a tee, so we did. Every design in the Game-Day Gear collection is a craft pun wearing a jersey, proof that you can root for New Orleans and your quarter-inch seam at the very same time.
The lineup
Every piece in the collection is a Comfort Colors Premium Tee, which matters when you are settling in for a full afternoon of couch quilting. A few favorites to give you the flavor of it:
- New Orleans Quilter - First Down, Sew On! ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee
- New Orleans Quilter - Stitch Six ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee
- New Orleans Quilter - The Fabric Draft ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee
- New Orleans Quilter - #1/4 Quilter ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee
- New Orleans Quilter - 99 Stash League ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee
There are more where those came from, including Sewtertime, the 45 Bobbin Crew, and the All-Pro Stitcher (my personal pick, because somebody in this guild has to claim the title). Each one is the kind of design that makes another quilter grin across the room before the first quarter is over.
Who this is really for
It is for the quilter who brings hand-binding to the watch party. The one whose stash grows mysteriously during the season (strategic inventory, no judgment). The one who can follow the score and a pattern at the same time, and honestly follows the pattern a little closer. If you have ever timed a chain-piecing session to a halftime show, you are already on this team.
