A comforting hug
My mom passed away after a battle with breast cancer. My daughters were struggling with the loss of their Nana. Their faces lit up when they saw their bears! We talked about the different pieces of fabric and what articles of clothing they came from. The bears haven’t left their sides since. They carry them around, sleep with, they’ve even named them. And by total coincidence, the bears arrived on my Mom’s birthday. It was the perfect gift.

A thoughtfully and artfully made time capsule!
I recently received my memory quilt of my daughter’s baby and toddler clothing after years of setting aside the most special items and then too many more years of waiting to get around to it. When I finally committed to getting it done and started browsing online, I found I was not in love with many of the samples I’d seen created by other quilt makers. Enter The Patchwork Bear. I could tell at once that they would craft the kind of piece I’d envisioned all of these years. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the results. Many many thanks!

Just Perfect
Jen at the Patchwork Bear was amazing to work with. She made two bears from one of my dad’s medium dress shirts and they are absolutely precious. She even made certain I’d receive the bears in time for my daughter’s baby shower. If you want a memory bear, I highly recommend Patchwork Bear!

Most amazing keepsake memory pillow!
The pillow was beautifully made. It is the perfect keepsake for the home and pairs perfectly with my upcycled tee shirt blankets. I highly recommend using The Patchwork Bear for turning old tee shirts into new memories.

Memory Bears for my Grandsons
These bears are absolutely perfect. They are made with love and the craftsmanship is excellent. Each of my grandsons chose pieces of clothing from clothes that their Pop Pop wore often. We are so very happy with these bears and we are so thankful for the talented team at The Patchwork Bear

Fabulous keepsake
After losing my grandmother unexpectedly we wanted a way to honor her memory.
The quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail and kindness of staff was beyond what I could have expected. My family was so impressed we are making 4 more bears. They even kept scraps to reuse.

Bears, Pillows, Hearts
I had The Patchwork Bear make 11 bears for my family, 2 pillows, and 2 hearts. All made with my nephew's flannel shirts. He passed away tragically in a car accident in 2024 and these keepsake items were made with quality and care each time. The communication was efficient and they allowed me to add on and change my orders as they realized the amount of material they had left over. Top notch company that turned Timmy's flannels in important keepsake items for us to treasure. Thank you Patchwork Bear! I will always recommend you for such treasured items.❤️
