Above And Beyond Satisfied!

I’m Above And Beyond Satisfied with my bears. TOP NOTCH COMPANY; the quality of the bears to the communication from customer service. Great communication, quick response, updates on when they received the shirt and when approximately the bear would be done. Then they let me know I had enough fabric for a second bear from one shirt so I ordered an additional bear. What better way to hug a little something of my Dad’s. He passed away 4 months ago and the bears filled my heart ❤️
Thank you Patchwork Bear Magic Makers

so well made

We received our bears and were so touched that the shirts that we sent for each of the three bears were kept organized and used exactly how we wanted them. The bears are very high quality and we will hang on to them for years. Our mom would be so proud to have her shirts on such a high quality remembrance item. thank you so much.

Beautiful Keepsake

Just wow! When my mother-in-law passed away, my two young daughters were yearning for a way to remember her. The Patchwork Bears were a perfect idea. The process was easy, the bears are soft, professionally made and absolutely beautiful. They brought tears to our eyes. On behalf of my family, thank you, for creating such an amazing keepsake. They will have it forever.

Best way to honor a loved one!

I purchased this bear in hopes it would help my grandchildren who miss my mom so dearly. It was the best decision I made, to see them hug this bear in one of her favorite shirts is priceless!

The quality was outstanding and exceeded my expectations!

I am very excited to place another order!

Nana’s Bears

From my initial contact to the delivery of
Nana’s Bears, I was so impressed with the customer service, updates and final delivery. What a pleasure it was to have the process go so smoothly and end up with an absolutely perfect product. My emotions were still so raw when ordering, it was a relief to have a seamless experience and when I opened the box, WOW! Beautifully crafted and so sweet! Thank you for doing what you do so well❤️

Amazing Keepsake

I recently lost my husband and found a shirt he was wearing the last time we had family pictures taken. Jen and the great folks at Patchwork Bear used the shirt to make a Simple Memory Bear AND a bitty bear that I plan to give to my daughter. Great quality and I will be forever grateful!

I ordered three bears, each made from an old flannel shirt of my grandpa's. I did the order in person in store and everyone was so friendly and helpful! The bears all came out perfectly and I can't wait to see my grandma's reaction when I give her hers! I highly recommend The Patchwork Bear for a meaningful keepsake!

Absolutely adored!

Thank you so much for the care you put into our 3 memory bears. Loosing our beloved mom has been absolutely heartbreaking, however having these bears wear her clothes and being able to hold them, brings a bit of comfort we all needed. If it can bring my 53 year old brother to tears, I know it was truly something special. Thank you all.
