Frequently Asked Questions
How many items should I send?
Check the table above for the suggested number of items. If you have fewer items that are recommended for a size, I will fill the spaces with premium 100% cotton in a complimentary colour. If you have more items that are recommended for a size, you may sort your items into 2 parcels labelled “must be included” and “can be excluded if necessary.” Any unused items will be returned to you. Please note these guidelines are for full-sized items, if you want a quilt made with baby clothes (note that baby clothes quilts are only suitable for baby and throw sizes) then double the amounts or expect extra cotton filler.
Where do I send my fabrics too?
To my home studio at 382 Froom Crescent, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada S4N 1T6. Local orders can email me to arrange a time to drop off their fabrics, worldwide orders can make their fabrics to me.
Should I cut my fabrics before sending them?
Please do not pre-cut your fabrics. I will cut all your fabrics to ensure they will be able to fit into the design.
What fabrics can I send?
Any machine-washable fabric may be sent. Dry clean-only fabrics will not work. Fabrics that are particularly thick may not be able to be used, but you may send them along for my consideration.
What items can you use?
T-shirts of all varieties (concert shirts, logo shirts, sports shirts, etc), blouses, flannels, fleece, sweat pants, dress or work shirts, work uniforms, lightweight sweaters, denim, jerseys, baby blankets, sheets, children’s clothes, and anything made of cotton or polyester and their blends.
Why is a memory quilt so expensive when I’m supplying you the fabric?
Besides the cost of traditional 3-layer quilting, the majority of the cost for a memory quilt comes from labour and technical skill. It is time-consuming to cut the source fabrics, and even then before sewing can begin they must be arranged which is a complex process and may even require a custom pattern.
What is a Simple vs Complex Design?
A simple design is one where all your items can fit into a predictable block pattern. A complex design is one that must be arranged to accommodate specific graphics, logos, or details.

How long does it take to finish my quilt?
It takes an average of 1-2 weeks to finish your quilt, then add on the appropriate time to ship before it’s in your possession. Please note that my busy seasons, namely Graduation and Christmas, will have longer wait times based on how many orders are ahead of you. If you’re looking to order a quilt during these times please plan accordingly.
