A modern quilt designed using inspirational quotes
I created my first quilt for a friend going through chemo. I asked a group of friends to submit their favorite inspirational quote or saying, or to write a short personal message of encouragement. She loved the quilt! I wanted to find a way to make giving personalized quote quilts easy for people—and givingquilts.com was born!
The best gifts are personalized! Think about the favorite gift you ever received. Most likely, it was something someone made just for you. GivingQuilts redefines an American tradition by combining the best of two worlds: master craftsmanship of making the quilt the old fashioned way—with new technology that helps me print the fabric for each quilt individually. GivingQuilts are perfect to commemorate important events, like a new baby, graduation, achievement, retirement, or to show support for a loved one who is facing an illness.
GivingQuilts are lovingly handmade in America each step of the way: the fabric design, printing, piecing and quilting of each quilt, with all materials proudly "Made in the USA".
Friendship quilts, also known as Signature quilts, have been popular since the 1840’s when they commemorated relationships left behind as families migrated westward. Often a square would contain a personal note, a poem or a verse along with the maker’s name. The recipients, many of whom would never see their families again, lovingly passed the quilts down to their children.
GivingQuilts makes this lovely tradition easy for all involved. No one else does this the way I do, supplying original fabrics, color schemes, quotes, and the skilled people to make this happen, all on one easy-to-use website.
