Just wow

I actually am having trouble coming up with the words to describe how happy I am with my order. I was so nervous to send my late mother's clothing out to some strangers to cut them up and make things. I'm so glad I did. Firstly, the Patchwork Team handled everything with cate and respect. They answered all questions I had prior to the order, let me know when they received the clothing so I knew it was safe, had my order weeks before I expected, and despite me not making the deadline for a christmas delivery, STILL had them to me the week before. I gave some special requests and everything came out just beautifully. Thank you. I really cherish these. You used a talent of yours to bring love and joy into the world. Thank you. I'm copying this into all the products i purchased. I bought a lot! 1 bunny, 3 bitty bears, 4 hearts, and 4 birds.

Love these bears

Best idea ever. I ordered and received 2 of the Itty Bears and they are perfect. Going to order a few of the birds for other family members.

Loss of baby bird

My daughter lost her baby at 22 weeks after 5 days in ICU. They did such an amazing job with the remembrance birds made from her baby blanket and clothes that she was able to give to family members in remembrance of Rory. The bears were even more amazing. They rushed the order and it was so heartbreakingly beautiful.

Absolutely perfect! An amazing blessing!

The Memory Bird was made from fabric left from the simple Memory Bear I ordered. The bear was amazing and I didn't know what to expect of the bird... it is also AMAZING. They did such a great job and have such an eye for design and detail! Using most of the fabric and getting even more beautiful remembrances from the one sweater I had is such a blessing! This will be a lovely "ornament" to hang or display anywhere - even on a Christmas tree! The picture doesn't do it justice - it's ADORABLE and PERFECT. :)

Ornaments from Gram

I had birds, hearts, and stars made from my mother’s clothes for Christmas. This was the first Christmas without my mother as she passed away in October. Everyone was very touched receiving these beautifully handcrafted gifts. Thank you Jenn and staff for helping to keep my mom’s presence in Christmas for years to come.
