@ProjectRepat thanks for putting together an AMAZIN’ @Mets quilt for me (@The7Line has big representation too). #LGM
we've made quilts from shirts that still had the tags on.
bought with intention. never worn. kept anyway — because getting rid of them felt like admitting something.
sometimes a bag of shirts is less about the past and more about the thing that didn't happen. the team that didn't pan out. the job that felt wrong by the second week. the trip that got canceled and stayed canceled.
people send us those too.
we get orders from people who haven't decided what the quilt is for yet.
they just know they can't throw the shirts away. and they can't keep looking at them in a bag.
so they order. and sometime between shipping the shirts and getting the quilt back, they figure out who it's for.
sometimes it's for themselves. sometimes they realize mid-process it was always going to be for someone else.
shirts don't actually get worn forever.
at some point, a college shirt gets too faded. a band tee gets too small. a jersey sits folded because putting it on feels weird now.
but throwing it out feels worse.
that's the exact moment people find us. not when they're shopping for a gift. when they're standing in front of a drawer, trying to figure out what to do with something they can't let go of.
we don't sell quilts, really. we give people a reason to stop feeling stuck about shirts they've been keeping for years.
that realization changed how we talk about what we do.
