• T-shirt Quilt – I recommend a minimum of 12 t-shirts for a quilt (or 16 pieces for a lap size baby clothes quilt); however, I can work with any number of items to design a quilt that fits your collection of memories.
• Memory Bear – If the item of clothing is large enough, like a t-shirt or a pair of pajamas, then one piece is all you need; however, I recommend using at least two pieces of clothing in contrasting colors or patterns. Three pieces are recommended for memory animals made with baby clothing.
• Memory Pillow – If the item of clothing is large enough, like an adult t-shirt or a baby blanket, then one piece is all you need. Two to three pieces are recommended for pillows made with children’s clothing.

I block off a minimum of 2 weeks on my calendar for each order. Collage quilts or orders with multiple projects may take up to 4 weeks to complete.

I work with you to determine the best layout for your project. If you already have specific ideas in mind, please let me know when you place your order (photos are helpful!); otherwise, I will present options to you via email or text once I have your project materials in hand. Nothing gets done without first getting your approval.

Once your order is received, I will present to you several colors and pattern combinations for you to select from based on the preferences listed on your order form. Choosing border fabric is typically the second step in the process of having a memory quilt made. The first is approving your layout (or where the shirts will be placed in your quilt).

• T-shirt Quilts – Standard batting is a low loft, 100% polyester fiber batting. Standard backing is a 60% cotton/40% polyester fabric in black, white, navy, or grey.
• Memory Bears – 100% polyester fiberfill
• Memory Pillows – Standard pillow forms have a 100% polypropylene cover and are stuffed with 100% polyester fiberfill

Yes. You would be responsible for the cost of shipping your materials to me.
