2 memory quilts

I received the 2 memory quilts made from my husbands dress shirts. They came out terrific. Outstanding quality.
I received them today the day before his 3rd anniversary of his passing.

A gorgeous keepsake to treasure

I recently sent some of my late Mom's clothes to have made into a keepsake blanket. I had previously had a keepsake bear made a few years back with some of my late nephew's clothes. They did an amazing job then so I knew just who to go to for the blanket. The attention to detail, creativity and amazing execution is all that I expected and more. I recommend you all to everyone I know. I will treasure these keepsakes forever and will pass them down in future.

Grandma

I had a blanket made for my daughter from her grandma’s clothes. When she opened the box she was filled with so many emotions. The blanket was beautifully made and I couldn’t believe how awesome your team made the design so perfect. I have ordered blankets and bears in the passed and can’t wait to have a grandchild so I can make a bear or blanket for them. Thank you so much!

Memory Quilt

Jen and her team did a beautiful job on a quilt I had made from my husband's clothes( he passed away Jan 2020) and this quilt her team made helps keep his memory alive. Jen texted me personally to have me look over the pieces of clothes before she made the quilt to make sure it was right, and it was perfect.
I would strongly recommend Jen and her team to anyone's family or friends. Love it !!

Very well made

Very well made. They made my grandmas clothes look like really expensive fabric. I can see my grandma in each square. I plan on hanging this quilt in my kids nursery one day:)
