The Gift of Memories
The gift of memories is a precious gift. What better way to tell a
person's story than to let the fabric of their lives do the talking.
Your loved one's story can be sewn with love, care, and expertise
into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind quilt. This past month many precious
memories were sewn into several lap quilts, 2 full size quilts, and 2
king size quilts!
Graduation quilts are in high demand. Currently I have 12 on my
schedule, combined with the other 13 quilts on my schedule, my shop
is busy each and every day preserving your dearest memories. If you
are interested in a Memory Quilt for any occasion, please contact me
ASAP so I can add you to the list. Quilts are now taking 3-4 months.
I hope all of you are staying warm, snuggled under a Memory Quilt, on
these cold winter days.
Sincerely,
Molly Fisher

The Color of Love
This Block style, king size
quilt (measuring 105" by 105") was made in honor of the
clothing designer Larry Levine. Included are 2 flags from his yacht,
his cashmere scarves, a leather jacket, velveteen fabrics used for
his popular clothing, and 5 of his brand labels. It truly shows his
flare for design. There is so much love and sweet memories in
this quilt! The picture shown below, with the family cat Koko, was
sent to me by the Levine family. Clearly, Koko loves the quilt:)

The Love of Running
This Modern style, king size quilt was
made with 60 running shirts from all over the United States. Full
marathons, half marathons, triathlons, and 5ks galore. Many of the
shirts were made of the high performance material that is popular
today. It was backed with a gorgeous green and blue cotton batik
fabric that I found in Lancaster, PA. It truly is reversible
and tells a dedicated runner's story!

Love Saves the Day
Fabric really does tell a person's
story. Below are quilts that tell different stories. The one below
illustrates the love of gymnastics, and tumbling. The quilt below it
tells a soccer and collegiate story!
|
|
|
Both quilts below chronicle stories of
championship tournaments. The quilt below portrays a baseball,
all-star story. The quilt below it recounts a softball, all-star
story.
|
|
|
This quilt below tells a story of a
youth spent in Pottsville, PA and the love of baseball! The quilt
below it illustrates a swimming saga that begins at Fanny Chapman in
Doylestown, PA and ends in Georgetown University as a Hoya!
What story to you have waiting to be told through a Memory Quilt?

What's New?
You now have three choices of the long
arm quilting stitch used to finish your quilt. This stitching
expertly finishes each and and every one of my quilts and turns a
blanket into a custom quilt! You now can choose either:
- the Wave Stitch
- the Meander Stitch
- or the Swirl Stitch
Another way I strive to make
your quilt as special and unique as it possibly can be.

The Wave Stitch is shown above, the
Meander stitch is shown below on the left and the Swirl stitch is on
the right below.

Get It Together
I get many inquiries about how to
order a Memory Quilt. It is fairly simple, you need the following:
- completed order form
(see link below)
- garments in a
box/bag/container
- $100 deposit per
quilt written out to Molly Fisher
If you are local, we schedule a
meeting at my shop. At this meeting we discuss your quilt and you get
to see and feel some of my handmade quilts. If you are outside the
Philadelphia area, you simply send me the items listed above via the
US Postal Service, UPS, or Federal Express. UPS is fast and does a
great job tracking the package and notifying you once it has been
delivered. This process is very reliable. My quilts have been mailed
to 4 continents!
Once I receive the package. I always email you and let you know that
the package is safe. After this task is completed, your work ends and
my work begins! You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the pictures that
I send of your beautiful quilt.

Federal Express has a wonderful
opportunity for small businesses like mine. They are giving
away a $25,000 grant for a worthy small business. I have applied for
this grant, but they want people to vote for it via Facebook. I would
appreciate your vote!
