tapestri

Weaving together the feelings of love and celebration, these products are custom designed for people who are embarking on a new and special adventure in their life.

The Celebration Quilt was my first product of this sort and came of an idea from a friend's wedding where, in lieu of a guest book, squares of silk were sent out with each invitation for guests to decorate. As her friends and family are artists, the end result was fabulous. Her mother stitched it together so that it could be hung at the reception and it was wonderful for people to gather around and see how it had come together.

I have seen quilts done with fabric pens at the reception, which allows for a certain personal touch, but not always a variety of sentiment as people don't always think creatively on their feet. The concept of the Celebration Quilt allows for the guests who are unable to attend to be represented. Also, the ability to have a quilt done ahead of time allows for it to be displayed at the wedding or shower. Many people send out Tapestri's contact info with their gift registry. Some quilts however are organized as a surprise to the couple by the wedding party or a group of guests. The more people involved, the more amazing the gift.

These quilts in a smaller form are also very popular with the birth of a new baby as a shower gift.

Tapestri products are created from the highest quality natural fabrics and fills, by my hands. I have a wonderful embroidering machine that can create nearly any font, style or design you wish. It is my recommendation that there is sufficient dialogue prior to purchase to allow me to gain a sense of the recipient's style, colour preferences, and, if applicable, the size of the guest list, to accommodate accordingly.

All Tapestri products are designed to fit into different price points. The quilts are typically sold by each square, purchased by the guest who is delivering the message. These are available in multiple sizes, small ones for those who just wish to leave their name and perhaps a tiny graphic detail, up to squares that spell out an entire piece of poetry. These are generally pieced together to create anything from a small lap-quilt up to a queen size quilt. It is of course possible to purchase an entire quilt and have each square put on a reserve listing for your wedding party for your guests to simply choose and add a sentiment. If you are concerned about the logistics, please contact me for details and we will work out an order plan for you.
