About Semper Fi Quilts
The story behind the name...
From 1992 until 2013 I was a United States Marine. The military had stationed me in Japan, Germany, on both coasts of our great country, made sure I had 4 tours in Iraq / Kuwait, and sent me to several places across Africa. In every place I’ve been, I always admired the handiwork of the locals.
Quilts are decidedly an American handicraft. Every facet of quilt-making...everything from choosing the design and fabric colors to cutting and sewing to selecting the right top-stitching and then binding it all up...gives great satisfaction. But the best part is presenting the quilt to someone. The look on their face is so rewarding.
They know a quilt is a special gift, chosen specially for a personal reason. It is a gift that touches on a much higher level and with much deeper meaning. That quilt is faithful and will stay with that person for a long time...maybe even get handed down to their children and grandchildren. Marines are faithful too. And that’s why my company is called Semper Fi Quilts.
Because Marines and quilts are a lot alike...we’re always faithful.

How I make your work of art
Semper Fi Quilts works very closely with each customer in a step-by-step fashion to make sure you have a custom, commemorative, and artistic quilt that preserves your memories and tells your stories.
Here's how our process works:
1. The customer fills out a questionnaire that helps to define what you are looking for (see link above). I refer back to this basic document often during the design process. The customer then sends the shirts and deposit to Semper Fi Quilts. No other money is due until the quilt is done.
2. Shirts are washed without fabric softeners and then logos are cut out.
3. Logos are pressed under 300 degree heat to a stabilizer so that the block keeps its shape.
4. The design process starts! I carefully consider focus blocks, color, size, and shape when placing all logos in the size quilt you want. A picture of this rough layout is then sent to the customer for approval.
5. After approval from the customer, all blocks are then cut to exact size.
6. A refined picture is sent to the customer, but this time with sashing, border, and backing fabric color recommendations pinned next to the blocks to help the customer envision the final product. We can text, call, FaceTime, or communicate in a variety of ways to make sure the customer is confident with their color choices.
7. The entire front of the quilt is then sewn together.
8. Next we talk about top-stitching design choices. You can give me general categories (like school mascot, patriotic, swirl, etc...) and then I can send you several options from which to choose.
9. The quilt goes to the longarm to wait its turn in line. This usually takes a couple of weeks.
10. The binding is attached and applique work is done (if applicable) and then I call you to let you know your treasure is ready for shipping or pick up!
11. I will send you the final balance due (including taxes and shipping, if applicable). Payment is due the day of pick up or the day the quilt is shipped.
12. I track the quilt and touch base with you to make sure you are happy with your new treasure!
13. You get to tell stories from this quilt, enjoy it for years to come, and even pass it down to your children and grandchildren!
