The folks at Campus Quilt Company in Louisville, Kentucky, took my son’s special baby and toddler clothes and turned them into the most gorgeous hand-crafted quilt I’ve ever seen. The $35 kit includes everything needed to make a quilt from a child’s baby clothes: alternating squares of fabric, batting, a quilt back, safety pins, straight pins, a cutting template and very specific directions. (For a quilt for an older child with lots of Scouting badges, check out the Eagle Scout quilt at The Quilt Loft.)įeeling crafty? At Ticche & Bea ( ) you can buy a T-shirt memory quilt kit and make it yourself. All feature adorable photos of finished quilts on their websites. In addition to Campus Quilt Company ( ), the company that made my family’s quilt, check out The Quilt Loft ( ) and Jelly Bean Quilts ( ). But not everyone does the “baby-clothes” version. Google “T-shirt quilts” and you’ll find a number of companies that make them. Think of it as a scrapbook page that will decorate your home, keep your family toasty warm, and become a family treasure. No matter where your memories come from, if they’re made of fabric, they can be turned into a unique quilt. Or perhaps you have a stack of T-shirts from high school, college, or family vacations. The ones that spark special memories of a little boy running around the house in Buzz Lightyear jammies or a sprite dancing in her Cinderella Halloween costume. As your children got older, you gave away many of their baby clothes - but you kept the ones that meant the most to you.
