A quilt made with pieces of the past provides comfort
and a special connection to past memories.
Memorial quilts are created to honor or memorialize a person,
an event, or an achievement. They can help grieve a loss. My
quilts are individually crafted from clothing and textiles which
you provide.
Your loved one's clothing can be used to make a beautiful
memorial quilt to comfort you and commemorate their lives. One
of my customers said that wrapping herself the memory quilt made
from her husband's clothing was like snuggling in his arms.
Memory quilts can include clothing such as shirts,
ties, suits, jeans, blouses, dresses, sports uniforms, etc.
Your memory quilt will become a treasured family heirloom to
be passed down to future generations.
Here are some examples of memorial quilts that I've
made:

Memorial quilts take more time to make than traditional
quilts because most clothing needs to be backed to prevent stretching
and the cutting and assembly process is more time consuming.
