Hey quilting friends, Judy here. Picture the scene: it is game day in Philadelphia, and I am exactly where you would expect (in my sewing room, foot on the pedal, the game roaring from the next room while I chain-piece through the commercials). Sound familiar?
If it does, the Philadelphia Quilter ~ Game-Day Gear collection was made for you. It exists for one simple reason: some of us love our team and our thread in equal measure, and we see absolutely no reason to choose between them.
Who this collection is for
You know exactly who you are. You plan your piecing around kickoff. You have hollered at a referee with pins still pressed between your lips. Your family has learned that "one more seam" and "one more play" take roughly the same amount of time (which is to say... longer than promised, every single time). No judgment. We built this collection because we are right there with you, rotary cutter in one hand and the remote in the other.
The designs
Every design in Game-Day Gear takes football language and runs it straight through the sewing machine, printed on a Comfort Colors premium tee. Sewtertime is for the quilter whose fourth quarter happens at the cutting mat. The Fabric Draft belongs to the strategist who picks fat quarters the way a general manager picks rookies: carefully, confidently, and with a backup plan. Stitch Six, First & Sew, and First Down, Sew On! celebrate forward progress wherever it happens, on the field or on the design wall. And All-Pro Stitcher simply says out loud what your guild already knows about you.
Then there are the jersey numbers, reimagined the way only we quilters would. #1/4 Quilter and 1/4 Stitch Squad are for the quarter-inch faithful, and 99 Stash League, 100 Fabric Crew, 50 Thread Team, 45 Bobbin Crew, and 24 Sew Crew let you pick the number that feels like yours and wear it like it came straight off the team bus. This is not fabric hoarding with a football problem... this is a roster, and you are on it.

Why we made it
Because for us, game day and sewing day were never two different days. The Game-Day Gear collection is our love letter to every Philadelphia quilter who keeps one eye on the scoreboard and one eye on her seam allowance, and it carries the same promise as everything else we make: heaps of heart, a little cheek, and designs made with real quilters in mind.
Ready to dive in? Head over to the Game-Day Gear collection and find the design that calls your play. Then pour the coffee, cue the game, and keep your seams (and your defense) nice and tight.
