An American Tradition

For over 300 years, families have found comfort and pride in owning a hand crafted memorial quilt. Originally, these quilts were stitched together by friends and neighbors and presented to the family to help them through their grief.  The warmth of the quilt with memories provided by pieces of fabric from the deceased favorite shirts which had been stitched into the quilt comforted the family in its grieving and inevitably became a cherished family heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation.

The tradition continued throughout the growth of America but the faster paced life saw the art of quilting shift from the norm to a hobby and, while the tradition of memorial quilts continued for those fortunate enough to received one, their availability has been limited... until now.

Recent advances in technology have introduced the "photo transfer" process into memorial quilts, making them an even more meaningful testament  to the life of a loved one.  Simply put, there is no finer way to celebrate, honor and remember a loved one than with a memorial photo quilt.

At Patchwork Memorials we are committed to expanding this beloved American tradition by improving the quality, introducing new ways to personalize your quilt, then making them available to everyone through our growing network of participating funeral homes.  What's more, you order your quilt through our on-line ordering process from the comfort of your home.

Patchwork Memorials' Exclusive Features

State-of-the-art photo transfer technology - Other photo quilts are made using transfer paper to iron a picture onto the fabric. This process, while quick and inexpensive, only layers the picture onto the fabric and degrades over time while changing the texture of the fabric.  We utilize the same high tech printers that textile manufactures use to print fabric when printing your photographs onto our quilts. The result is a picture that is printed into the fabric, not on it and will last as long as any other piece of cloth and retains the same natural texture of the fabric.

Custom Embroidery - We will embroider your loved ones name and dates of birth and death and your comments onto the border of your quilt.  Additionally, immediate family members can add their own personalized embroidered message.

Our Exclusive "Pay Your Respects" messages -  Once you have created your quilt on line, other close friends and relatives around the world can log into Patchwork Memorials and order personalized testimonials to be embroidered, along with their name, onto the sash of your memorial quilt creating a lasting tribute which you and your family can share with future generations. 

Each Patchwork Memorials quilt is hand crafted by experienced quilters from the finest 100% cotton fabrics.  Making your quilt is easy and intuitive and our customer support team is here to help you if needed.
