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!

Poignantly Perfect

The bear exceeded all my expectations, it was perfect! Every symbol and emblem that could be used was used in places I never thought was possible. His memory will live long and beautifully on in this perfect little bear.

Lovely!

Just got my memory bear. It is beautifully done, shows the detail and love put into it.

Beautiful work

I had a bear made for my daughter. What an amazing job they did. The team was so nice and friendly. They really take the time to make sure they know exactly what you want and the finished product show. I will be going back for more memory bears.

A Simple Memory Bear made with one Shirt

I had bears made with one shirt each. One made for my mom and one for me. My mom was so excited to have her bear with her husbands shirt. She loved it and it made her cry. She held it all day long during my visit with her. I loved my bear made with my dads shirt. Knowing the time and expertise that went into creating the bear, with hand made quality workmanship, we appreciate you!.... no words can describe the love we felt with each bear! 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!

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.
