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!

Some of you may know that my sweet Pomeranian, Hope, went to heaven last April. She was 13 human years old. Theresa took her fur that I had saved from daily brushing and made yarn. It is so beautiful. I have tears of sadness and joy. Thank you Theresa!
Tiny piece for Fiber Artists of San Antonio and the Library.
It’s one of THOSE days.
I went to the library for some crafty seashell painting! Yay Tobin Library!
Mimi has written an awesome book. I learned about kudzu! Interesting characters, excellent language reflecting time and place, sharp sentences. Wish I had been as smart as Mattie, the main character, when I was younger! My heart was truly invested through the entire story. Thank you, Mimi for your hard work to bring this to us!
This amazing embroidery from Peru is getting a backing and rod pocket so it can be hung on the wall. Wavy edges have determined that I stitch by hand to “ease” the bulk. I LOVE handwork! My new direction?
