I had 10 birds completed.
They came today. They are adorable.

Perfectly cute

The bird was so detailed. I just love it. Hung them on a lamp next to my bed. Fall asleep looking at them and wake up to such cuteness. It just gives me a sense of closeness to my daddy.

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.

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. :)

Simply Amazing

Quality of their workmanship and attention to detail is beyond explanation. I’m forever grateful they turned my mom’s favorite blouse into a beautiful work of art that makes us smile every time we see it. We were lucky to have a bear and bird made for her blouse. We had the bird made, since we called her Nanabird! Thank you

Something so precious..

I cannot recommend this company enough! From the concept to finished product I am blown away. They went above and beyond my expectations! I wanted to get something to remember my dad,grandmother and grandfather by. I made memory boxes out of these birds and I’m simply so grateful and weepy (yes weepy.) with how they turned out. This is such a perfect representation of my loved ones and I can’t thank y’all enough!

Family Memories

I have purchased 5 bereavement bears, 2 original memory bears, 1 bitty bear, 4 memory birds and 1 16x16 pillow. Every item exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work is exceptional. Four generations of my family have an item made with my late husband's clothing. All thanks to The Patchwork Bear.

Memory Birds

Thank you so much for my memory birds. I miss my sweet Ollie every day, and it’s so nice to see some of my favorite outfits of hers turned into something I can enjoy forever. They are beautifully made, and I can’t thank you enough!

ClaireBear🥰

Thank you sooo much Jen and the Patchwork Bear team. The Claire Bears and Claire Birds are so beautiful. They made some of us teary-eyed and brought back so many wonderful memories of Claire. I am especially thankful to Meghan that they arrived in time for Claire's birthday. It made the day even more meaningful and gave us something special to hold close to our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great gift idea

After my dad passed I sent in some shirts of his and had some bears made for family members. Everyone who received theirs, absolutely loved it. It gave them a sense of my dad always being there with them. They are beautifully and carefully made.

Carefully Crafted, Forever Cherished

If you’re looking for a meaningful keepsake made with love and care, I can’t recommend ‘The Patchwork Bear’ enough. My custom rabbit, made from five pieces of my grandmother’s clothing, turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. I especially loved having the option to customize the fabric placement, which made it feel even more personal. The quality, communication, attention to detail, and packaging were all amazing. I called and emailed several times with questions before placing my order, and they went above and beyond to help guide me. You can truly feel the genuine care they put into preserving the meaningful memories behind each keepsake they create. I am forever thankful for this sweet little bunny and the memories stitched into every part of it.

I received the Bereavement Bears made from my brothers clothes that he wore while serving in Vietnam. They will be a wonderful reminder of him for my sisters and I. Thank you so much.

A comforting hug

My mom passed away after a battle with breast cancer. My daughters were struggling with the loss of their Nana. Their faces lit up when they saw their bears! We talked about the different pieces of fabric and what articles of clothing they came from. The bears haven’t left their sides since. They carry them around, sleep with, they’ve even named them. And by total coincidence, the bears arrived on my Mom’s birthday. It was the perfect gift.

A thoughtfully and artfully made time capsule!

I recently received my memory quilt of my daughter’s baby and toddler clothing after years of setting aside the most special items and then too many more years of waiting to get around to it. When I finally committed to getting it done and started browsing online, I found I was not in love with many of the samples I’d seen created by other quilt makers. Enter The Patchwork Bear. I could tell at once that they would craft the kind of piece I’d envisioned all of these years. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the results. Many many thanks!

Just Perfect

Jen at the Patchwork Bear was amazing to work with. She made two bears from one of my dad’s medium dress shirts and they are absolutely precious. She even made certain I’d receive the bears in time for my daughter’s baby shower. If you want a memory bear, I highly recommend Patchwork Bear!

Most amazing keepsake memory pillow!

The pillow was beautifully made. It is the perfect keepsake for the home and pairs perfectly with my upcycled tee shirt blankets. I highly recommend using The Patchwork Bear for turning old tee shirts into new memories.
