Absolutely the most unique memory of my husband has been created by the staff at Patchwork Bears. High quality, attention to each detail. A treasure to cherish in his memory.
My patchwork bear made from shirts from my mom and dad is incredible. It helps turn grief at their loss to happy memories. Got one for me and one for my daughter. Love them.
Look no further than The Patchwork Bear. I lost my husband unexpectedly 19 months ago. He was known for wearing Aloha shirts every day and had an extensive collection. I chose 2 shirts for the creation of each of the 4 bears I ordered, representing the favorite colors of my grand kids. The 4 bears were exquisitely crafted. The cutting of the fabric to enhance the prints was artfully done. I visited several sites before ordering, and found that The Patchwork Bears are without equal. Tears of joy flowed upon opening the box, thank you for your creativity, artistic eye, and skill. My wishes were beautifully fulfilled. ❤️
Thank you for creating such a beautiful keepsake for me from my husband's ties. The workmanship is excellent. Both bears reflect the personality of his ties. Thank you for creating such a meaningful reminder of my husband.
I just found out I have a biological dad after 54 years! We have bonded over the last 8 months. My bear is made from his, my mom, and dad’s shirts. I’m a lucky girl with a Memory Bear!
My bear was a thoughtful, beautiful gift from my youngest son as a tribute and memory to my oldest son's passing. It was one of the best gifts Ive ever received. It smells just like him and was made so well! I love it and will cherish it for years to come! Thank you
I came across a shirt of my mom’s and thought having it made into a bear would be a perfect way to remember her by. I had held onto it for 22 years in a box and this bear is so much more meaningful!
What a beautiful tribute to our son Troy. The craftsmanship was so outstanding we ordered 3 bears. Thank you for such spectacular work!
I love them all ♥️
I had some items that belonged to my parents and so I sent them in with high hopes and boy did Patchwork Bear Deliver 😍. I LOVE my bear and am so happy with the work they did.
My bear arrived a couple days ago. It’s such a comfort to me…. Especially when I’m feeling blue, I hold it close to me. Thank you for making this special bear 🐻
My sisters and I absolutely love the 3 bears created from our father's old Navy camouflage clothing. Each bear is adorable! Working with the team at The Patchwork Bear was an excellent experience - great communication, easy ordering process, great attention to detail in all the instructions, etc. Thank you!
I entrusted The Patchwork Bear with the most precious belongings I own—my late mother’s clothing—to create 12 fully personalized bereavement bears for various family members, and I can honestly say that each one was more exceptional than the next.
From the very beginning, my order was handled with such care, compassion, and respect. I felt completely safe placing something so irreplaceable into their hands.
When the box arrived and I opened it… I cried. Every single bear was crafted with extraordinary detail, softness, and love. The quality is exceptional—truly heirloom level. Each bear captured something unique and special for the person it was made for.
These bears are not just keepsakes. They are comfort, memory, love, and healing stitched into something my family will treasure forever.
If you are considering a memory bear for someone you love, I cannot recommend this company enough. What they do is not just a service—it is a gift to grieving hearts.
Thank you for giving my family something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. 💖
With a thankful heart ♥️
I recently had a Bereavement Bear made for my husband using his mother’s dress that she wore at our wedding, and it is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the care put into creating this bear are truly incredible.This keepsake means the world to us. I’m so grateful for the love and skill that went into making it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a meaningful, heartfelt memorial gift.
I’m beyond thrilled with how my memory puppy turned out. It is so beautiful and so well put together. The team was so great to work with, particularly Meghan. They were able to work with materials that we challenging, and incorporate a lot of my requests which made it even more special. Thank you so much!
I love my bear. It is well made and just what I expected. It was made and delivered to me in a wonderful amount of time. I am so happy that I had it made ane would do it again. Thank you so much.
