Welcome to Rhino Quilting

Quilts made for the people you love, from the things they love.

Art quilt by Rosie Rhine of Rhino Quilting depicting a dramatic mountain landscape. In the foreground, a massive black tree with a thick trunk and a web of bare branches fills the left side, its roots spreading across a field of textured coral and pink fabric. A low gray stone wall runs behind the tree, and small evergreen trees dot the hillsides. To the right, a teal and green river winds through the valley. Beyond it, overlapping ridges in red, orange, rust, and olive lead up to a bright red peak. The sky shifts from blue and turquoise at the top to yellow and gold near the horizon, with streaks of red cloud. Dense, swirling quilting stitches add texture across the whole piece.

My name is Rosie Rhine. I turn clothing, t-shirts, ties, and fabric into one-of-a-kind quilts that tell a unique story. Many of my clients come to me after losing someone, wanting their loved one’s clothing to become something they can wrap up in rather than pack away. Others want to celebrate a collection, a milestone, or a person they love with a special gift. 

Memory & bereavement quilts: If you’ve lost a loved one, deciding what to do with their clothing can be overwhelming, especially on top of your grief. You don’t have to pack them away or leave them in a closet. Together, we can transform their clothing into a beautiful memorial quilt to honor their life and comfort the people who miss them.

T-shirt & tie quilts: Our clothing represents who we are in different phases of our lives. Even when they are damaged or no longer fit, sometimes giving them away is not an option. Send me your lifetime of beloved shirts, tees, or neckties, and we can turn them into a custom quilt or wall hanging.

Something else entirely: Whatever you’re dreaming up, we can make a custom quilt that will bring that vision to life. Baby clothes, scout badges, a wedding or graduation gift, a design you’ve been dreaming about. 

Pictorial art quilt by Rosie Rhine of Rhino Quilting portraying the Boston skyline, the MIT dome, and the commissioner's childhood home in Boston. Tall buildings in navy, brick red, tan, and plaid fabrics rise against a pale blue sky with white clouds. A band of leafy green trees lines the far side of a wide blue river, with a small tree-covered island in the water. At the left, a rust-orange dome and a columned building with striped fabric sit near the water’s edge. In the foreground, a red brick house with white-trimmed windows and a small cupola stands among green lawns, trees, and a walkway.
Memory quilt by Rosie Rhine of Rhino Quilting centered on a large compass-rose star in navy, maroon, and cream, set in a cream circle on a blue square. The blue square includes a Dodgers logo above the star and the name “Alder” below it. Around it is a black border and a ring of pinwheel-style blocks in blue, red, black, and white fabrics, some cut from printed T-shirts. A bottom row of photo panels shows people, and one panel reads “Guinness.”

Solid squares in deep red, magenta, and plum alternate with squares of bright printed fabrics, including florals, a parrot, and abstract patterns. One pink square carries the printed words “Celebrating Life, Love & Hope.”
Pictorial art quilt by Rosie Rhine of Rhino Quilting showing a woodland scene. Tall brown tree trunks rise against a hazy background of tan and beige fabrics. A pale stream with white and pink water tumbles down a slope of brown, green, and tan ground, past gray boulders and small patches of leafy-print fabric.

Lone Star quilt by Rosie Rhine of Rhino Quilting. A large eight-pointed star pieced from strips of teal, green, orange, tan, and rust fabrics, with a dark red center, sits on a white square with fine quilting lines. The square is framed by thin dark brown borders and a pieced border of small multicolored print strips. The outer background is a mottled gold and orange fabric.

Within the lattice, square windows of vivid fabrics in magenta, orange, yellow, turquoise, and green show feather and abstract patterns. Short pieced strips of rainbow prints and pale gray fabric add accents at the corners of the squares, and quilting stitches curve across the surface.

Above and to the left, partial circular fan blocks are pieced from men’s shirt and necktie-style fabrics in navy, burgundy, gray, and teal, radiating like sunbursts. Swirling quilting lines are visible across the coral background.

How A Commission Works

  1. We talk. Call (360) 726-1405 or email me at RhinoQuilt@comcast.net to tell me about the person or the occasion. Whether the quilt is for you, a gift for a loved one, or honoring someone you’ve lost, it helps me to know as many personal details as you’re willing to share, so I can create a piece that tells a unique story. 
  2. You send the fabric. Clothes can be mailed from anywhere.
  3. We settle the design. Some clients have a clear vision, some collaborate with me, and some leave it entirely to my artistry and intuition. I can also send a digital mockup before beginning the quilting process. Everything is one-of-a-kind from the design, label, and even your own backing fabric. 
  4. I make it, start to finish. Every quilt is designed, pieced and quilted in my home studio using my APQS longarm quilting machine, and finished with a personalized label in your words.

About Pricing: Every quilt is different, so I quote each one after we talk. Cost depends on the time and materials involved, not just size.
