MONTEVALLO, Ala. (WBRC) - A quilt studio in Alabama is making quilting cool again — one stitch at a time.

Meet Melissa, founder of S.K. Quilts Studio and the creative force behind Six Kids Quilts. Since 2014, she’s been turning everyday fabric —and meaningful memories — into bold, handmade quilts that are equal parts comfort, art, and storytelling.

This isn’t your “dusty craft closet” kind of quilting. At Six Kids Quilts, the vibe is welcoming, hands-on and community-driven — whether you’re commissioning a t-shirt quilt from old concert tees, leveling up a project with award-winning longarm quilting or showing up to sew alongside others who just get it.
