Well, we are back from a wonderful summer break and wondering, where did the summer go? Just a couple of weeks before the kids go back…ahhh…

I’ve been making the checklist of what fits in their closets and thought you might be too. So, while sorting through school clothes & necessities, why not pull out a few favorite outgrown clothes and have a KEEPSAKE QUILT or PATCHWORK BEAR made to preserve the best memories of the summer? Of course, it’s not just for kids- choose your own favorite t-shirts, dresses and clothes and have one made for yourself.

If you’re like me and need a little motivation, if you place your order by September 15th, you can save 15% on your entire order. Just type KEEPSAKE at checkout to redeem.
