Custom quilted gifts

custom memory pillowsI have been asked by several people for additional ideas of what they could do with clothing they had from someone special in their lives. Quilting is a wonderful, traditional way to use a variety of fabrics in items that can be shared from one generation to another so I'm offering this sevice for those interested. I'm starting off with a couple of simple items that could be done in multiples for giving multiple loved ones.

 

 

Standard Block Memory Pillows

Memory pillows are huggable and decorative. If you have a number of people to share memories with, they can be the more affordable option. The final pillow is approximately 15" square. I can offer quantity discounts because there is some time savings in making several at the same time.

A single pillow costs $30 plus postage
Two-Four pillows cost $28 each plus postage
Five or more pillows cost $25 each plus postage
Postage runs $15 for the first pillow and $3 for each additional.

If you would like your loved one's initials or first name embroidered on the center square, add $15 per pillow.

pillows from old quilt
Giving an Old Quilt New Life

Mary had a quilt that her grandmother had made that had seen better days. It had gotten so worn that it could no longer be used, but she didn't want to just pack it away for no one to enjoy. She decided to give a piece of it to each of her children in the form of a pillow. I tried to save four actual blocks from the quilt for the front of the pillow and framed them with the fabric that framed the quilt. There wasn't enough fabric to do the back totall from the quilt so I found a couple of fabrics that were in keeping with the spirit of the original quilt to augment. I then kept a bunch of the applique butterflies from the quilt and scattered them on the back in applique.

Memory Quilt PillowsDecorative Memory Pillow Shams

If you have several items of clothing and want a way to preserve the memories using them, pillow shams are a wonderful way to display those fabrics. In addition, they are durable and easily pass down from generation to generation.

I like using these two basic patterns pictured here. One is the pierre point star in circle and the other is a woven square. Both of these can use 3-6 different fabrics and make beautiful accents to just about any room.

Available Sizes and cost:

Fits 14" x 14" pillow form: $50 ea
Standard Pillow Case Size: $55 ea
Queen Pillow Case Size: $65 ea
King Pillow Case Size: $75 ea

Shipping will run $15 for the first item and $3 for each additional item

As with all my crafting, this is a hobby, not a vocation so reservations are needed to make sure I can do the project in a timely manner.

For some reason, AOL doesn't always allow my emails through. If you have emailed me and don't receive a response within 24 hours, it means I either didn't get your email, or my response did not make it to you.
