Memory Quilts
Have you heard of Memory Quilts? These are extremely special quilts that hold memories in every patch – baby clothes, wedding dress maybe shirts and ties. A patchwork is created and quilted from your own fabrics. Each quilt is unique, as are the memories they hold.
Here are some I’ve made …
Quilts for a whole family from baby and favourite clothes …
These quilts are very, very special and often attend family celebrations!
Quilts for a sister and brother …
The process …
It all begins with your fabrics – a bag full will make a good-sized quilt – with borders added to increase the size and frame the patchwork …
then the patches have to be prepared – very carefully …
then they’re laid out in a pleasing pattern to balance the colours …
then I do A LOT of sewing – piecing the patchwork then quilting very carefully to preserve any secret pockets that have been included in the design. Sometimes larger applique pieces are added and finally the binding – hand-stitched as always.
