Simply perfect,
My Husband hubby got me this bear and I absolutely love him!! Great workmanship and quality work. I was brought to tears over this awesome gift.
This difficult process was met with the most efficient and considerate staff! The reality of being in a position to want a memory bear in itself was almost heartbreaking to think about. I tearfully parted with five items of my son's at the post office. I got a reassuring text a few days later that his items had been received. That was so reassuring. They followed up with questions regarding my wishes and were able to make me four bears instead of just the one! They came perfectly packaged and were met with tears of sadness and joy. They turned out perfect! I can't say enough about the care and consideration of this process. It's been almost five and a half years since I lost my oldest son and I will cherish my bear for the rest of my life. Much love to all!!!
We are beyond thrilled with how our bunny and bear turned out! What a sweet reminder both of my daughters will have of their beloved aunt! Thank you so much! ❤️
This pillow is fabulous, such quality in the craftsmanship. It is a special gift for my son’s fiancée, he died years ago. The shirt was one of his special ones, I am sure there will be tears when she sees/holds it in her arms.
It turned out amazing and I am so thankful to The Patchwork Bear!
The ornaments were everything that I hoped they would be. Each one was a part of the material that was sent. My daughters loved each and every one!!
My public library decided to recycle a few toddler cushions into mini teddy bears. I search for weeks and found just the right pattern. Thank you!
2 of my Daughter’s shirts…a pink bear T-Shirt she wore often, and a shirt showing the Voltswagon buses that she loved dearly. I cried when I opened the box. It turned out a lot better than I would have expected. I love looking at it. 🥺🥹 Forever 22 💙🪽
Truly beautiful way to remember our sweet, beautiful boy Rudy. It’s very well made, high quality and unique. I would absolutely recommend the patchwork bear!
I ordered the memory pillow . When I received the pillow I could not believe how good it was, I love it I cried when I saw my husbands clothes and his name on the pillow. If you orde r from this company you will not be disappointed my pillow was beautiful I also ordered the heart it was exceptional too.
My Grandfather passed away in September 2025 and my mom’s birthday was in the same month. I wanted to get her something special that included the memory of her dad. I knew she was getting a couple of his shirts so I asked for one from my Grandma and while searching online The Patchwork Bear was the first website. I saw the bereavement bear and knew it was perfect! She absolutely LOVED being able to hold and cuddle with something that reminds her of her dad. I also received some keychains made from my Grandpa’s shirt for me and my sisters. I love that I can touch and feel his shirt and carry it with me always.
Patchwork Bear you did it again - what a fabulous job on the Dresden pillows you made from my late father’s shirts! So beautifully done!
I'm so pleased with the skill and great care that was used to make this beautiful memory quilt out of some of my mother's shirts. She passed away almost a year ago and I'm grateful to be able to reach for this when the grief feels particularly heavy.
