We take great pride in our products. As award-winning quilters, we know what it takes to make a quality quilt. The materials that we use in your quilts are the same materials that we use in our own ribbon-winning quilts. The cotton fabrics won’t fade, are stronger than the standard cotton fabrics, and are made specifically for quilts. The machines used to construct and quilt your quilts are professional-grade. More than anything else, the people who will make your quilt love what they do, and can’t wait to sew for you. We promise excellent customer service and will really listen to your requests. We have hundreds of satisfied customers who would agree that Patchwork Memories, Inc. is a great company if you are looking for a personalized quilt!

Patchwork Memories, Inc.® is a fully licensed and insured corporation operating entirely within North Carolina, USA. Be assured that we run a professional, efficient, and organized company, and we will take great care with your treasured items. Even though we’ve made hundreds of quilts, we know how much yours means to you, and each quilt gets the care and attention that our own quilts receive. We are a small 2-person business, and both of us loves the art of quilts and quilting.

Everything needed to make your quilt, except for your personal items, is included in your price. We use quilter’s-quality 100% cotton fabric, a premium cotton blend batting sold for use in heirloom quilts, and high-quality cotton thread in the creation of your quilt. Because we have many local clients, shipping charges are additional, and are $20 per quilt.

Normal turnaround time for a standard setting t-shirt quilt or a framed quilt is about a month, but if you have a special event and need it quicker, please let us know! Other quilts and bears may take longer. Delivery times may be delayed near Christmas and the May/June graduation season, as these are our busiest times. Get on our calendar early for these seasons!

Of course. We have a Babylock brand professional embroidery machine. This machine allows us to embroider images or personalized wording on your creations that will look terrific for the life of the quilt. We offer a huge variety of embroidery designs.

We use a double-folded fabric binding for strength and durability. This binding is machine-stitched to the front and back of each quilt for extra strength.

Absolutely! We have a state-of-the-art APQS Millenium longarm quilting machine. This machine allows us to machine quilt your quilts at the highest quality, which helps the quilt last longer and provides beautiful quilting stitches on your quilt.

Yes, you can! Our family has a t-shirt quilt that is often used at sporting events and picnics. We just toss it in the washer and dryer and it’s ready for our next adventure! For memory quilts, we advise caring for them based on the most delicate piece of fabric in the quilt.

We can work with any number of shirts, from 4 to 200 or more! If you want a standard-setting t-shirt quilt, we can work with you to combine shirts or use fronts and backs to make sure you get everything included in the size quilt that you want.

Yes! Sweatshirts work well in t-shirt quilts, and it’s hard to even tell the difference between the t-shirts and the sweatshirts once the quilt is completed.

You should wash all of the shirts to be included. Please do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets. It’s helpful if you put a piece of masking tape on the side(s) of the shirts that you want included in your quilt. That way, we don’t have to guess or ask you later, and you are sure to get just what you want included.

You can simply indicate your color preferences on your Order Form, or you can shop online at a fabric store with whom we partner. They offer thousands of bolts to choose from! We special order fabrics often for clients, and are happy to do so.
