Memory Quilts

I love creating memories from old clothes.

These were made for a woman who has two grown children, a boy and girl, and she saved all their clothing from the time they were babies.

Boy's Memory Quilt

This is the man's quilt. It is made from saved clothing from a terrific mother. When I first saw all the striped shirts, I didn't know how it would work together, buy as you can see, it came out great.

I also incorporated a picture of each of the children into the quilts.
I enjoyed making these quilts.

This measures 56x72. It is perfect for the end of a bed. It has 100% cotton batting and muslin for the backing. I quilted it in the ditch, as the clothes are the main focus for this type of quilt.

If I can do something like this for you, contact me. I do all kinds of custom orders, from pillows to quilts.

Girl's memory quilt

The girl's memory quilt has everything in it from her baby blanket, to diaper pants, to dresses.

The mother gave me a box with 88 pieces of the girl's clothing. Each piece must be prepared for sewing, because each piece is different. This quilt has everyting from a blanket to a bib cloth. I think this is one of the most fun quilts I have done so far.

This will be an heirloom for them to hand down for years to come.

I have used batting in the middle and 100% cotton muslin for the backing. It is quilted in the ditch, because in this case I feel like the clothes are the main focus, not the quilting.

It measures 51 x 60 inches. Perfect for folding at the foot of the bed as a showpiece.

If I can do something like this for you I would love to, just e-mail me.

Prices will vary depending on size, design and clothes. Contact me for info.
