Memorial Quilt to honor a loved one
Do you have a box of a loved one's personal items that you can't bear to get rid of? Wish you had a way to view them without having to dig thru your closet or attic to find the box? By taking something as simple as their clothing and/or other items, I can turn those items into a beautiful way to preserve those memories!
Do you have your dad or grandpa's ties and/or dress shirts? How about mom or grandma's dresses, aprons, and/or hankies? A loved one's collection of sports jerseys or maybe work shirts? Did your grandma collect buttons or maybe your dad collected military patches? I can take those precious items and turn them into a beautiful wall hanging, framed art, a lap quilt, and more. Embellishments such as buttons, tie tacks, pins & other jewelry (even broken), patches, lace/trims, etc. can be added to enhance your quilted object.
Preserve your own memories!
Memory quilts do not have to only preserve the memories of a lost loved one. Have a box full of your shirts growing up? Baby outfits, sports shirts, school spirit t-shirts, letterman jacket? Lefty Quilter can take these items and create a trip down memory lane just for you to enjoy!
