Excellent experience, my daughter just loved this keepsake
The first thing I saw when I entered my moms house after she passed away, was the last nurses scrub jacket she ever wore. I wanted to make it a keepsake and a Patchwork Bear was how I decided to do it. The Bear came out better than I could have ever hoped. Communication was on point and shipping was quick and care was put into packaging.
I ordered the birds and hearts for family members. They are adorable!!
I just love it. It means so much to me. My grandson passed away when he was 27 years old and you did such a good job. I will be getting another one.
I received my bears and love them. Everyone that has seen them loves them as well.
Beyond my expectations
Excellent from start to finish. Process was seamless. Bears are high quality.
I was very excited to receive my package in the mail but then it hit me what was inside - I waited almost 2 weeks to open the box but I'm so glad I did!!! very emotional at first sadness but then happiness took over - the way they added this pocket to the shorts was so my dad and it made me very happy - I would recommend everyone purchases one of these amazing memories!!!
Bitty Bear
I ordered three hearts made with my mom’s blazer jacket. They came out perfect. I have them hanging in various places in my house. I’m so happy I got these done. They came out great. I definitely would recommend doing this with your loved ones clothing.
My sister's passing was unexpected and my daughters were heartbroken. The bereavement bears made from my sister's favorite tops help keep my sister close. The bears and pillows are very well made and we love them.
Quality work
Excellent turn around time
I like the option of a less expensive bear with one fabric
I would refer to friends
I just received my bears in memory of my beloved husband who passed away January 20. I absolutely love how he was made and the embroidery on the heart is so special as he used to sing that song to me through our 53 years together and serenaded me the morning before our wedding. I also had a bagpiper at his funeral and he played this among other songs. I highly recommend you to anyone for a beautiful remembrance of their loved ones. Thank you so much
Very satisfied with the patchwork bear. Simple ordering process
Very pleased with the quality of my memory bunny
