Memory Heart

$ 20.00

A smaller alternative to our memory clothes collection: This little heart is made from one or two articles of clothing. Perfect for those small pieces that might not be enough to make a bear or quilt. Measures approximately 4 inches tall x 6 inches wide and includes a convenient hanging ribbon. This is for ONE heart

Some ideas for the memory hearts:

  • use baby's onesies to make a baby keepsake
  • make one heart for each member of the family from their clothes and create your own 'family tree'
  • make keepsake ornaments for the holidays
  • make several from clothes from a loved one who has passed away and give to all the members of the family.

So emotional!

When I opened the box of the beautiful bitty bears and hearts I was so emotional! The quality is perfect and my husband, Greg's shirts were used in ways I couldn't imagine. The gifts are for his daughters and granddaughter. He died unexpectedly in August and our hearts are broken. These gifts are going to make Christmas so special! Thank you for the lovely workmanship and creativity. God bless you. Merry Christmas!

Memory Hearts

Last Christmas (2023) my husband ordered a Memory Bear for me made from my son's clothing and I couldn't have been more touched and surprised with it. It is absolutely perfect!
This year I thought I would order 2 hearts - one for each of my children in memory of their brother. I had asked them to be made slightly different since one is for my daughter and one for my son. The workmanship is beautiful as is the personalization on each. However, I am a bit disapointed with one of them (the one for my son) since the colors are too dark and it doesn't "pop" like the one for my daughter. This is not your fault, since you made them exactly as I requested.
If I had it to do over again, I would have had you make them both the same, since the one for my daughter is much brighter. I will give them to my children for Christmas this year and I am hoping they both will be touched by the memory hearts.
Thank you.

Nice quality... smaller than expected

I ordered 3 of the memory hearts. The quality of the workmanship is good, but for the price I was expecting them to be bigger. Anyone who is handy with a needle and thread (that is definitely not me) would be able to easily make these for next to nothing in cost. I would not purchase these again.

Fantastic Work

Memory bears and hearts

I am so impressed with the workmanship of this company and can’t wait to give them to my family. I ordered two bears for my adult children and two hearts for my grandchildren. I sent my husband’s shirts and the fabric is on the bears and the hearts. This is such a wonderful memory of their father and grandfather. I know this will be a very emotional day for them but also a happy one. Thank you.

Heart Ornaments

Thank you to the patchwork team for creating my beautiful hearts from my son's early clothes. I gave them as gifts to family and friends. Everyone was touched by them. They were great and I highly recommend this company and product.
