A proud grandfather wore many shirts. The four memory bears are keeping his memory alive. Thank you to those who created our Patchwork Bears. The Sloan Family
All four of our families memory bears of their Dad and my husband came out beautiful ! The stitching is great and the bears look sweet
Ty Beautiful Memory 🩷
The Simple Memory Bear using his favorite shirts give us fond memory of an amazing person
I am extremely happy with bear. It is made with my sons clothes. They really paid attention to detail and made it special. I would highly recommend.
I have 9 Great Grandchildren and wanted them to have something to remember there grandpa who passed in March 2026.
I had a memory Bear made from a shirt my husband wore often. It is such great quality and I just love looking at it.
My husband dies after falling so his death was heartbreaking…I had this Grandpa bear made in his favorite camo…the bear is so awesome…my girls say the face is perfect! Thank you so much! I have already passed your info to a friend who,also lost her husband!
When my father passed away we had boxes of T-shirts from all the charities he had worked with, from his time in the Marine Corps and law enforcement, as well as Tshirts from family trips. We didn’t want to just throw them out but no one was going to wear them. We had previously ordered from The Patchwork Bear on a smaller order and knew we could trust them with our memories. They did a beautiful job turning all those shirts into 3 memory quilts (one for each for myself and my two brothers) and 8 memory bears (enough for my mother, my generation and all the grand kids).
I highly recommend The Patchwork Bear. I’m already thinking of new projects to send to them.
