By: Louise Silk for SilkQuilt It is difficult for all of us to discard these important items. Why not consider a different solution? Select the most important clothing and textiles and make them into a Memory Quilt that will keep your loved-ones memories alive and at the same time revolutionize old little used garments into a completely different and still meaningful product. In the process of sorting you will find particular pieces filled with important memories and deep meaning: the gift to your aunt of her favorite sweater to keep her warm in the winter; your father’s favorite sport shirt; your mom’s special birthday dress. Transforming these important items will help both of you let go of the past and adjust to their new situation. Louise Silk, quilter extraordinaire, can help you through the transformation process with a one-of-a-kind handmade quilt. Louise specializes in Memory Quilts by skillfully transforming your loved one’s clothing and textiles into a unique memory quilt that becomes a loving visual history for its lucky recipient. In today’s challenging environment Memory Quilts have added value by upcycling, transforming unused goods into something more valuable than their current state. Using favorite items no longer worn but not easily discarded increases the meaningful nature of your quilt. A Memory Quilt is the perfect gift to help your loved one connect their past and transition to the new environment. With her wealth of experience quilt artist Louise Silk creatively transforms t-shirts, clothing, ties, and wedding dresses, into lap or bed quilts, wall hangings, pillows, shawls, or baby quilts. These become meaningful and functional gifts to celebrate any special occasion. All quilts are individually handcrafted to your specifications. She proudly guarantees delivery in less than four weeks and always works within your budgetary constraints. Louise Silk, founder of SilkQuilt, resides and works in Pittsburgh, PA.
