As promised,
this newsletter will highlight the remaining three out of the six
styles that MQBM makes! Yes, you have choices here and these choices
make each and every Memory Quilt that is made that much more special!
Graduation Quilts are in high demand. Currently I have 25 quilts on
my schedule. My shop is busy every day preserving your most cherished
memories.
If you are interested in a Memory Quilt or Memory Pillow for any
occasion, please contact me ASAP so I can add you the list. Now is
the time to order grad quilts.

The
Staggered style quilt is very popular! This style is good for shirts
with large graphics. Each block is staggered slightly, hence the name
;) An extra-long twin size quilt in this style is perfect for a
dorm bed.
|
|
|
The
Traditional style quilt with block sashing is also good for shirts
that have large graphics. This style is less expensive than the
traditional style quilt with premium friendship star sashing. It
requires less labor. This style is very popular!
|
|
|
The basic
style is just that---basic. It comes in one size, has the same size
blocks, and has no sashing around each blocks. This style is good for
those who are on a strict budget. Below is a Basic style quilt made
with lucky shirts ;)

It's Easy Being Green!
Re-purposing shirts and other garments into beautiful handmade
quilts is truly recycling at its best!

Yes, Please!
As you can see this Staggered style Quilt contains lots of t-shirts
with large graphics. The sashing (fabric around each block) was made
from the child's denim jeans! Who knew recycling could be so
beautiful.

Cuteness Overload!
In December, MQBM received over 40 flannel nightgowns and flannel
pants that were made with love for two children by their nanny.
A large queen size Memory Quilt was made with them. The
customer loved the quilt so much that she ordered two baby quilts to
be made with the leftover material-one for each grown child. It is
her hope that these baby quilts will be used in the future for her
grandchildren! So cute!

The picture above shows a baby quilt that measures
54" by 54". The quilt below is the queen quilt that
measures 90" by 108". What a precious gift for a baby
shower! Currently the second baby quilt is being made with, you
guessed it, a purple backing for a baby girl!

Easy to Love
Pillows made from cherished sweaters have become very popular. They
are backed with the back of the sweater. These pillows have a unique
"hugability" to them that brings comfort to those who have
lost loved ones.
