T-SHIRT QUILTS
At Knot Forgotten Quilts we have been making quilts of all types for over 40 years. Although we have the most fun working to make the coolest T-Shirt blankets to give as gifts, we also enjoy making the Memory quilts. If you are wondering what the difference between a T-Shirt Quilt and Memory Quilt is, to be frank, a memory quilt is typically made from the clothes of loved ones who have passed on. T-Shirt Quilts (or blankets) are simply made from a collection of T-Shirts and are popular among all ages - although high school and college students in particular love. T-shirt quilts are fast becoming "the gift" for graduating seniors. These blankets are the perfect way to showcase your achievements, remember the places you have traveled, the concerts and artists you have seen, and the events you have attended. The quilts we make at Knot Forgotten Quilts are unique in that they are mosaic style and NOT simply all the same size squares in uniform columns and rows. Our quilts look amazing, and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
We know the importance of your collection of T-Shirts. From the time we receive them we take great care to ensure the security of your items. We design your t-shirt quilt in a mosaic style which makes it look much more interesting than a quilt with all graphics cut the same size. With a Mosaic style quilt the graphics are cut in various sizes. Then they are placed in specific positions in your quilt design to allow the viewer to better notice and appreciate each and every graphic. We spend a great deal of time designing your quilt. We feel that each and every quilt should be unique, and we promise you will not be disappointed.
As part of our process, we allow you to SEE the layout BEFORE we make the first stitch. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU SEE WHAT YOUR QUILT WILL LOOK LIKE, BEFORE WE SEW IT! We will cut your graphics and design your quilt, take a picture and send it to you for you to approve the design, and then, and only then, we will take the pieces and sew them together.
If you are not happy with the layout we send, we will design another layout for you. This ensures that you know what your t-shirt quilt will look like before we start. This extra step, while very time consuming, is important to us! WE WANT YOU TO BE 100% SATISFIED WITH YOUR T-SHIRT QUILT. We challenge you to find a company out there that takes this extra step! After completing your quilt, we will let you know it's finished and send you a picture. We will keep your quilt safe until we receive your full payment. Your quilt can be shipped via United Parcel Service (UPS) or United States Postal Service (USPS). Shipping charges will be added to the price of your quilt. We require delivery confirmation (signature required) for our insurance and also to protect your beautiful quilt.
We sincerely enjoy making these T-Shirt Quilts. We are a very small, family owned operation and hope you will give us the opportunity to make your t-shirt quilt. We strive to keep our prices the best on the internet. We hope you will research other companies and then come back to Knot Forgotten Quilts! You can't go wrong with us. It takes a very skilled quilter to make a beautiful quilt, and quilters should be fairly compensated for their time and talent. The quality of material for the back of our quilts is the best. The Warm and Natural batting we use is the best quality batting available. Our thread is the best (yes, there is a difference in thread choices - believe us) we only use Gutermann thread. AND, this is proven by our amazing quilts. Just because we don't charge an arm and a leg does not make us unworthy quilters. We just happen to love what we do, and don't find it necessary to break your bank. Take a look at our quilts (see more quilts in our Gallery of T-Shirt Quilts) and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us and we will be happy to assist.
Our memory quilts are the most rewarding quilt that we make. Memory Quilts, are made from the clothing of loved ones who have passed. Most any item can be used, shirts, pants, patches, dress shirts, the list is endless. If it's important to you that the item is included in the quilt, we will do our best to make it happen. We have used pieces of wedding gowns, old scarves, hats. Just ask!
The entire process, from meeting the person who has either just lost a loved one or has decided years later to have a quilt made, is very, very important to us. It's hard to take someones loved ones items and tell them not to worry, we promise you will love your quilt. We have shed tears with people we have met and made quilts for. We have heard people comment that the quilt smells just like their loved one. Or that they can remember them wearing a certain shirt or having pictures with specific clothing. We have heard that holding it or covering up with it brings such comfort. We won't share all our stories and we only share pictures and comments after our client has given their permission. But, we can say with complete confidence that these quilts have a very dramatic impact on people.
MEMORY BEARS & PILLOWS
There are many ways to recycle your clothing items and two additional ways are to make pillows and bears. Knot Forgotten Quilts can turn your items into a huggable cute little Knotty Bear (yes, he has a name - but yours can be any name you choose). Pillows can also be made and they look fantastic anywhere you place them in your home.
