Quilted Gifts from Your Fabric Garments
I 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.
Although quilting is something I do well, my younger sister, Jodie,
is an absolutely beautiful quilter and has agreed to provide her services
through this site. So, I may be asking you to send her the fabrics and
payment. She loves to quilt as much as I love to make teddy bears.
Memory Quilts
Memory quilts come in two sizes: A lap quilt (36" x 72")
and a crib quilt (45" x 60"). They can be backed
with a soft fleece to make them particularly soft and warm. These
samples were made by my sister Jodie.
A lap or crib quilt costs $95 to make plus shipping ($15)
If you want more than one, I'll find out if she will give quantity
discounts. these are a lot of work, she puts an incredible amount
of time and energy into her quilts and they are beautiful.

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: $30 ea
Standard Pillow Case Size: $35 ea
Queen Pillow Case Size: $45 ea
King Pillow Case Size: $55 ea
Shipping will run $8 for the first item and $2 for each
additional item
I can save some time doing more than one at a time so, if you
want several, let me know and I'll give you a custom quote. |
Ordering
If you are interested in having some heirloom fabric pieces
turned into a gift to commemorate your memories, you can contact
me at: Liane@fairygodmothercreations.com to
discuss the fabric you want used and to make a reservation.
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.
You can also call me at 937-235-5050 during normal work hours (this is
my real job phone number but feel free to leave a message if I'm not
there when you call and I will call you back).
