Custom Memory Quilts & Keepsakes Made from Your Clothing
Handmade with love in the Florida Keys
We are a small, family-owned studio turning old clothes into new treasures. We create custom memory quilts, T-shirt quilts and keepsakes from YOUR beloved fabrics — high-quality, one-of-a-kind items that save memories from the landfill. Keepsake quilts, pillow covers, table runners, placemats, quilted bags, and more.
What Is a Custom Memory Quilt?
A custom memory quilt is a handmade quilt stitched from clothing and fabrics that hold meaning — old t-shirts, baby clothes, uniforms, dress shirts, or a loved one's favorite fabrics. Instead of letting those pieces sit in a drawer, we transform them into a warm, one-of-a-kind keepsake you'll treasure for years.
Each memory quilt is designed around your story. We arrange patches, embroider names or dates, and finish every quilt with hand-pieced blocks and machine quilting in our Florida Keys studio. The result is more than a blanket — it's a family heirloom you can snuggle under.
Memory Quilts, Bags & Keepsakes Made from Your Clothing
Whatever the occasion, we can make it from the clothes that matter to you:
T-shirt quilts — the classic. A quilt from your favorite band, race, camp, or college shirts.
Baby clothes quilts — tiny onesies and swaddles turned into a keepsake for a growing child or new grandparent.
Uniform & team quilts — military, sports, work or school uniforms stitched into a proud display.
Remembrance quilts — a loving tribute from a loved one's shirts, dresses, and pajamas.
Quilted bags & purses — carry your memories with you.
Table runners, placemats & home décor — small keepsakes for every room.
