Spring cleaning and recycling: Make a quilt from your clothes March 29, 2009

quilt made from your clothes

A new twist on RECYCLING: Make a quilt  from your favorite clothes!

We all have those favorite outfits our kids wore saved in a closet somewhere. Where? Why not transform them into a keepsake quilt by The Patchwork Bear? One of my previous posts featured the baby clothes bear (the one with Chris Noth) and many inquired about having a quilt made. Of course we do that too!

Your favorite articles of clothing will be pieced into 4-inch blocks to create an instant heirloom. The keepsake clothes quilt starts at $150 for a 30×30-inch quilt and can be made as large as 48×57 inches. Each is unique and special and we encourage your design ideas to create a truly original keepsake patchwork bear and quilt. Completely customizable and personalization available too.

A great idea not just for baby clothes. Use favorite t-shirts, uniforms, wedding dress and my sentinental favorite: a Memory Bear- made from a loved one’s clothing who has has passed away. We made several of these for the holidays for grandkids using grandparents clothes, for spouses, for children. More on this later…

So go clean out your closets and drawers and place an order today for a  Memory Bear, keepsake quilt or baby clothes bear by The Patchwork Bear.
