Magical
Memories
This
past month Memory
Quilts by Molly (MQBM)
has included some really special items. I hope you all know by
now that Memory Quilts can include much more than t-shirts. This
newsletter will illustrate the many unique items that I have included
in quilts this past month. I have added:
- a school uniform
- a field hockey skirt
- pink tutu
- adorable toddler
dresses
- a romper and a
toddler sailor suit from the 1970's
Each
of these items has made the quilt become that much more memorable and
personal. Check out the pictures and stories below!
Also, let's not forget the Quilt of the Month! This month I have
selected a full size, Modern Style quilt that has phenomenal colors
in it and is now at Eckerd College in Florida! Bright colors really
work well in these quilts! Please remember that when you are
selecting your items for your quilt.
Currently I have 18 quilts on my schedule. I have eight orders for
the holidays already! If you are interested in a Memory Quilt for the
holidays, or for any occasion, NOW is the time to order! My
business continues to grow and so does my Facebook
page! I now have 409 fans.Thank you all so very much for
your support!

Quilt of
the Month
This quilt
is beautiful for many reasons. The bright colors make it so nice plus
the many water polo shirts adds to its uniqueness.The neon orange and
teal colors work really well. It is backed with a beautiful teal
cotton that is just perfect! A total of 60 shirts were used to make
this full size modern style quilt. It does indeed tell a
story.

Tutus
This was
Jacqueline's very first tutu for dance! She wore it when she
was a small child! How special it looks in her quilt. As Jacqueline
begins her life at Villanova University she will have a full size,
staggered style quilt to wrap herself in, tutu and all!

Adorable
Duck Dresses
These two precious dresses were added to the quilt made for yet
another recent high school graduate. The sweet embroidered duck on
the bodice of this dress is a focal point of the quilt.

When Lizzie was young she would wear her duck dresses all of the
time. She would even create her own outfits! Lizzie thought that
the red sweat pants complimented the duck dress beautifully;)
She wore both dresses everyday over top of her normal
clothes until one day neither one would budge over her
head and they ripped up the sides!
Such sweet memories surround these dresses, they just had to be
included in her quilt!

Quack
Quack....
It just doesn't get any cuter than baby ducks. This dress was
sprinkled through out the quilt.

Memorial
Quilt and Pillow
The pillow
shown above, and lap quilt made in the Block style shown below,
were made in honor of Daniel. Daniel left this world far too
soon.
The pillow represents Daniel's baby days and the Memory Quilt
represents his adult life.
It was an honor for me to help this mother through the grief that
is felt with the loss of a loved one. She trusted me with Daniel's
clothing, and in the end received a beautiful quilt that will bring
her comfort and warmth for years to come. Below is her thank you to
me:

A Moving
Testimonial
"I just
have to say thank you, again and again, for bringing my son's
memories "back to life" for my husband and I. I
am overwhelmed by the beauty of the quilt, it has exceeded
my expectations. Just feeling the weight of the quilt, I know
how well made it is. And, it is only a lap quilt but it fits
across my son's double bed! I will enjoy it wrapped around me
on those cool evenings that are coming! I love looking at the
different "blocks" and remembering when he wore this or
that, and all the moments that I now hold so close to my heart.
I trusted you with the most precious things in my life at this time,
and you made something even more beautiful out of them. Thank
you, again."

Terrific
Threads
Thread is so
very important in a quilt. I use the highest quality Gutermann thread
for the top quilt and King Tut variegated thread for the long arming.
- The King Tut thread
really makes MQBM quilts stand out. King Tut is an extremely low lint extra-long staple
Egyptian-grown cotton. Variegated colors are precision-dyed with
one-inch color changes. The colors accent my
quilts perfectly and ensures that the quilt will last for years.
- Gutermann thread is
used for the piecing of the top quilt. Again, this thread
is top notch and will ensure that your quilt last for years to
come.
Thread
really does matter and MQBM uses the best! The photo below shows how
beautiful the King Tut variegated thread looks on my quilts!
