About
I am a quilt maker.
My current focus is on making custom T-shirt quilts for other people using their shirts that have meaning to them. First of all, I believe in making art that has multiple functions and is useful. In making T-shirt quilts, the shirts are repurposed into a beautiful piece of art that has a new function as a memory quilt.
The name of my company was inspired by the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency novels of Alexander McCall Smith. The furniture store in the books is named Double Comfort Furniture. A little different than the meaning used to indicate very comfortable furniture, the meaning of my company name is that the shirts bring comfort in the wearing and then as a quilt, the comfort is doubled!
I live in San Antonio, Texas and am a member of the San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild. Shout out to all my fellow “Hot Tamales”! I have been making quilts since the 1980’s for friends and family. Since quilt making as a business is a new adventure, I appreciate your participation. Welcome aboard!

This is Hope.
She was rescued by a friend to avoid being euthanized. She is looking for a very special forever home. Hope is an older dog and has abuse issues. She is good with humans. She does not mix well with other pets. She needs a home with no other animals nor small children (no history here, just precaution) and a secure yard. Please consider how you might help. Thank you.
Working on my submission to the Fiber Artists of San Antonio exhibition “The Artist’s Pantry”. My inspiration is Van Gogh’s Decanter, lemons and oranges, 1887
Sewing this up now!
It’s only scheduled to be 97 degrees today. Guess I’ll fire up the heat press!!!
Two quilts delivered! Yay!!!
This shirt has wonderful curly strips all over. However, they were sewn on with thread that MELTS WHEN IRONED!! So, tired of repairing it, I decided to make it my own and sew down the curlies! Not finished, but having a good time. 🤓
Very loved quilt has received new life. This was hard, but fun!
Happy Birthday!!🎈
