Made With Memories

MEMORY QUILT KIT


We all have them: a concert t-shirt from 10 years ago, a worn-in college sports shirt, the complimentary family reunion t-shirt...and they are all taking up space in the bottom of a dresser drawer. Give your sentimental souvenirs the presentation they deserve with the fun and easy Memory Quilt Kit, which not only puts all your favorite t-shirts to good use as a cozy blanket, but also tells the story of your life in a unique way. Created by Mary Mertens. Made in the USA.

The memory quilt kit includes:

- Pre-cut pieces of caramel-colored minkee fabric (super-soft poly chenille blend)
- 1.5 yards of minkee fabric for the back
- Octagonal cutting template
- Fusi-knit interfacing
- Detailed directions

Not a seamstress? For an additional fee, you can send your T-shirt squares to a professional to create your quilt. Information and pre-addressed shipping envelope included in kit.

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

This is the second kit that I have gotten. I'm making it with all my kids high school sports shirts. I already made a wonderful one this spring with all my Relay for Life shirts. This is wonderful and so soft. I get a ton of good thoughts about it every time someone sees it.

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

The item is even better than described, it came very quickly and is inspiring to get me started,,, also, not intimidating if i feel like it is too much for me with a bag to send the project in if I want. Love it.

A really good craft project
By missyleeVerified Buyer from New York, NY on 10/1/2009
Gift:
No
Pros:
Soft, UNIQUE
Cons:
None
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

This is a wonderful, not-too-hard craft project that can result in a totally unique, fun gift. If you have a sewing machine and can sew seams, you can do this--aside from cutting your tee-shirts, all of the cutting and measuring has been done for you! I called the company for advice and spoke to the most lovely, helpful person who truly helped me. I've ordered a second kit!!

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

I have not begun the sewing of the Memory Quilt, but I cannot wait to do so. My first impression upon opening the box was to see that the material is beautiful...a soft beige and not the khaki in the catalog. Even the texture was a wonderful surprise. I know that the color in the catalog is the result of the photography. In fact, I had put off ordering a kit because I did not want that army khaki brown. I'm so glad I finally ordered it, and I cannot wait to begin!

Hidden Costs foil perfect wedding gift
By Invited GuestVerified Buyer from Boston on 7/13/2009
Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Practical
Cons:
Hidden Costs
Best Uses:
Year-round
Describe Yourself:
Budget Shopper
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

I bought this as a wedding gift assuming they would supply the shirts and send it somewhere and it would come back a quilt. Apparently, you have to pay an additional $85 to have the shirts turned into the quilt. I guess it's more the marketing's fault than the product but it was certainly not clear on the wedding registry page that it was not a full gift which made me sad.

Memories to warm you forever!
By BarbieVerified Buyer from Kennesaw, Ga on 7/9/2009

Needs smaller design
Best Uses:
Year-round
Describe Yourself:

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

It looks like it will be great once it is finished. What I do not like about it is that I am using T-shirts from when my children were in elementary school and the template is obviously designed for use with adult T-shirts. I am not sure how I am going to be able to alter this for my use.

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

My husband has been asking me to make his t-shirts into a quilt for over a year now. When I opened up the cataolg and saw that I was able to not only purchase a kit, but could send it in to be done correctly:) I JUMPED at it! We cut out the parts of the shirts we wanted in the quilt(using the template provided.) We arranged them in the order we wanted them and then took a picture of it(so the seamstress could see where we wanted each shirt placed. We have not received it yet, but with the way the fabric felt we cannot wait!

I have now bought three of these kits!
By MicheleVerified Buyer from Minneapolis, MN on 6/10/2009
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design, Soft
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about MEMORY QUILT KIT:

Since I do not quilt or sew myself, my initial intent when purchasing the first kit was to send it in to the service provided to be sewn together. A friend of mine who quilts as a hobby then offered to sew it together for me. I told her I had plans for an additional two quilts and she first suggested that I just buy the fabric myself instead of ordering additional kits. However, after working with the kit and seeing the quality of the components – she acknowledged that it was well worth the money spent!
