Nanna B's Memory Quilts

Remember how cute your baby looked in those little babygros? Perhaps you kept some ... I can use them to make a special memory quilt for you. And not just for baby clothes. A personalised quilt can make a lovely birthday or anniversary present, or a 'welcome to the world' gift for a new arrival. And if you have some clothes from a loved one who has passed , I can make a cushion or a quilt out of those too.

You'll find Information on how to order under the pictures below, and on the main 'Nanna B Keepsakes' page.

Below you can see some examples of quilts I've made.

This babygro quilt was too large too photograph, so it's draped over my sofa! The backing is made from a duvet cover that holds many memories.

How It Works

Decide what items you'd like to send me, choosing the items that are sentimental to you and the ones you really want to treasure. The only thing to bear in mind are thick materials like leather and denim can be tricky to work with; thin materials like chiffon may be delicate and affect the durability of the finished item. And try not to mix heavy and very lightweight fabrics as that won’t give a pleasing effect. Please contact me if you have any queries about this.
Personalise your order online and checkout when ready
Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive an email telling you how to send me your clothes. If you have a lot of special requests and additions then, depending on the complexity, I may contact you to request an additional payment to cover the cost of making these.
Post your items to me
I will let you know when the clothing arrives. Standard turnaround is approximately 4 weeks, but in most cases I can upgrade to an express 1 week turnaround. I will take excellent care of your items and I will contact you if we have any questions regarding your order whilst I am making it.
Receive your keepsake. It will be sent in a cotton dust bag for protection and storage once you receive the item. Make sure to send me a picture of your finished piece with a review for my gallery!
Remnants of fabric from your items are kept until the item is dispatched; should you require any pieces sent back then please let me know. Any full items of clothing not used will automatically be sent back with your finished quilt unless you tell me not to.
