Meet the Maker
Hi and thank you for visiting my shop. I am Constance and I specialize in preserving your cherished moments with memory quilts and pillows that are stylish and complement your home decor. I started making photo memory quilts while caring for my mother who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Seeing the joy and comfort that a quilt brought to her inspired me to create these cherished treasures for others. My photo quilts and pillows are made with fade-resistant ink and quality materials. They are available in a variety of sizes. They make wonderful gifts for everyone.
Please contact me before ordering and I will create a cherished quilt of memories for you.
How it’s Made
Once the t-shirts and photos are received, the t-shirts are cut and fused with a stabilizer on each individual emblem. This is to ensure that the fabric doesn’t stretch and get distorted as it is sewn. once the stabilizer had been fused, then each t-shirt is cut to size and ready to be sewn with the border fabrics. The photos are printed onto photo fabric with fade-resistant ink. The photos go through a procedure to help prevent color bleeding and fading. Then they are pressed and cut to size to be sewn with border fabric. Arranging the t-shirt squares and the photos to see which placement of the images and shirt squares are the most appealing to the eye. Then they are sewn with cotton quilting fabric borders to make the colors pop. Once all of the shirts and photos are sewn together as a blanket top, it is ready to “sandwich” it as the top of three layers. The middle layer is cotton batting and the bottom layer is also cotton quilting fabric. The three layers are pinned or sprayed with basting spray to prevent shifting as the layers are sewn (quilted) together. And the quilt is finished by binding the edges.
