Did you know that there is a growing popularity of memory quilts and t-shirt quilts, some of Memory Lane Quilting’s best-selling items? If you’ve been wracking your brain for a one of a kind personalized gift, a specially made item from Memory Lane Quilting, like a quilted memory bear may be the answer. Anybody, even if they have never quilted a stitch in their life, can create preserved memories with a finished product from Memory Lane Quilting near Strongsville, Ohio; Brecksville, Ohio; and Independence, Ohio. Customers farther away have shipped their shirts off to Bonnie and Mike Holodnak (the dedicated owners of Memory Lane) and have received beautiful keepsakes in return.
Life is full of great moments and for some of those moments, what we wear is as crucial as what we are doing. Graduation, marriage, or even personally memorable articles of clothing can add value to our memories. However, over time (as we know too well) kids outgrow items of clothing and we accumulate more and more clutter around our homes. Before we know it, we are planning a yard sale and we have a mountain of the children’s clothing for sale. After spending days outside trying to sell items that are sentimental yet space consuming, we are often still left with a pile that we might choose to donate. Instead, take any number of items (9 pieces to 49 pieces!) to Memory Lane Quilting near Strongsville or Brecksville and let the experienced staff cut, lay out, and sew together some of the kids’ clothes into a special t-shirt quilt or memory quilt. Different fabrics like denim from jeans, shirts, corduroy, smocking, etc. can be interconnected to become an entirely new piece of cloth—a warm and beautiful quilt that displays memories and recalls the children’s journeys through playing and growing up.
Old baby clothes or memorabilia you have collected over the years can be stored beautifully into a personalized gift. If you have collected shirts from the places you have visited and vacationed, all of those pieces of clothing have a way of being worn for a while and then just taking up space in a drawer or a tote in the basement later. If a quilt isn’t really your style, don’t worry: you don’t have to display it on your bed in your home in Independence! There are quilt racks and ways to hang a quilt as a bedroom accessory (in your kids’ room so you can relay stories of times when the clothing was being worn, perhaps?). Another option you have is to have a quilted memory bear created. Memory bears are made from two pieces of clothing only, and have and appearance of being half one quilting design and half another. If your children aren’t grown up yet, or even if you have a teenage girl, a charming memory bear can preserve a baby onesie and a pretty Easter dress from a tenth birthday in one item. What a way to recycle old clothing into new interesting pieces on a shelf!
The experienced quilters at Memory Lane Quilting near Strongsville, Ohio; Brecksville, Ohio; and Independence, Ohio will create a lasting memory from your old yard sale items that haven’t sold. Don’t just sigh and donate your son’s first tee ball shirt or your daughter’s first dancing tutu—preserve them with a memory quilt, t-shirt quilt, or quilted memory bear from Memory Lane Quilting! There is no better personalized gift than one that provokes positive memories and lots of story sharing.
