The Quilters Retreat V-Neck T-Shirt
-
Introducing our brand-new Quilters Retreat V-Neck T-Shirts—the same Bella+Canvas softness you love from our crew necks, now with a flattering v-cut style. These tees are lightweight (4.2 oz), breathable, and made for comfort, whether you’re piecing quilts, heading to guild, or enjoying a casual day out.
.
Crafted from 100% combed and ringspun cotton (with soft blends for heathers), the fabric has that smooth, airy feel quilters adore. The retail fit and v-neckline create a modern silhouette that looks polished on its own or layered.
Each shirt comes with a tear-away label for irritation-free wear, and Bella+Canvas is Platinum WRAP certified and part of the Fair Labor Association—so you can feel good knowing your favorite quilty tee is made responsibly and sustainably.
.
Because the fabric is designed to be light and soft, we recommend checking the size chart to ensure your perfect fit. Once you do, you’ll have a shirt that’s as cozy as it is stylish—ready to become a quilting-day favorite!

T-shirt is wonderful. I can't wait to give it to my friend for her birthday.
Thank you so much — what a lovely thing to hear! I love that this one is heading off as a birthday gift; there's something special about giving a fellow tea-and-quilting friend a little wink like this. I hope she loves it as much as you do. Thank you for choosing it for her. — Christine
