Memory Quilts are special quilts made from your supplied clothing of yours or a loved ones. Memory Quilts are made with a lightweight batting which helps keep your quilt from being too heavy to use. You can add different options to your quilt to make it exactly the way you want it. All Memory Quilts are hand tied the old fashioned way unless the type of the quilt, fabric weight or the pattern requires machine quilting to optimize the look and wear of your quilt. (Machine quilting of course raises the price of the quilt).
You may add pictures to your quilt (you must have white or very light color Plain Cotton Fabrics for pictures to be added - or I can use white cotton fabric to add your pictures (pictures cost $5 per picture) All photos are returned unharmed with your finished quilt. Please remember to send good quality photos as the photo will loose some quality when it is scanned.
You can use any fabric to make your Memory Quilt and fabrics can be mixed and matched. Please note that the pattern and size of the blocks will be determined when I get the fabrics and will be placed in the best array to make your quilt as beautiful as it can be.
T-Shirt Memory Quilts can be made using the front (and or back panels) to make a very unique quilt and a great way to reuse all those T-shirts that we all seem to accumulate. Imagine giving a loved one a quilt made from all their favorite shirts that they didn't wear anymore (maybe too small or too large) but hated to get rid of (you know what I mean - we all have some pack rat in us). I can even make pillows to go with your T-shirt and other Quilts using the same materials.
I supply the backing material for your quilt (it will be a cotton or cotton blend) that will compliment your quilt top.
Memory Quilts lead time is a minimum of 6 weeks for 42 X 44 Infant Quilt size and 8 weeks for a Lap Quilt Size (approx size 42 X 56) (for larger quilts than this please call (740 - 852-3090) for pricing and turnaround times.)
Fabric requirements for Infant and Lap Quilt Sizes are approximately equal to 2 yards of fabric or approximately 4 large shirts (if using baby clothes then fabric equal to 2 receiving blankets).
Please note that Memory Quilts may come embellished with ribbons or other fabrics.

Please allow extra time during the peak Holiday Seasons as ordering is heavy and configuring your quilt and it's layout takes time.
