Frequently asked questions
What kinds of materials or fabrics hold the most special memories?
T-shirts or button-down shirts are the most popular choices for memory quilts and pillows. These items often hold significant personal memories and stories, however, we've made quilts made with towels and night gowns as you will see in the album above.
What sizes of memory quilts do you offer?
The size of a memory quilt depends on your preferences and the amount of material available. If you don't have enough fabric for a bed-sized quilt, we can add complementary fabrics to achieve the desired size.
What occasions are memory quilts best suited for?
Memory quilts are suitable for any occasion, similar to t-shirt quilts. However, they are most commonly requested after the death of a loved one, serving as a comforting reminder.
Can you add fabric to my memory quilt if I don't have enough?
Yes, if you want a bed-sized quilt and don't have enough material, we can add fabric to it, ensuring the final product meets your expectations.
What's one thing someone should know before commissioning a memory quilt?
We don't rush the process. We understand the emotions behind the memories and hold them dear. At Doreen's Quilting Creations in Muskegon, Michigan, we also pray over each quilt we produce, ensuring it’s made with love and care.
How long does it typically take to create a memory quilt?
The timeline for creating a memory quilt varies depending on the complexity and size of the project. We take our time to ensure every detail is perfect and that the emotional significance is honored.
What if I have a special request for my memory quilt?
We welcome special requests and custom designs! Let us know your vision, and we will work with you to create a unique and personalized memory quilt that exceeds your expectations.
Can you share a story about a meaningful memory quilt you created?
One of the most meaningful quilts I made was for my mother after my stepfather passed away. It took me about five years to get to a place emotionally where I could complete it. Touching his clothes and cutting the material was overwhelming, but Mom was very happy with the finished quilt.
