Monkey Sew, Monkey Do Please message the page or email [email protected] to discuss your perfect Memory Quilt. Lisa x A fleece backing is available for an extra charge.

Memory Quilts
Patchwork quilts made from your baby's clothes, blankets, sheets, grobags, wrap scraps and more! Each quilt is padded with 4oz wadding and backed with natural cotton calico. The sashed size 1 Memory Quilt (51"x 35" or 88cm x 129.5cm), which is a cotbed size, is £140 using paypal and couriered or £130 cash collected (I live in Cannock, Staffordshire). The sashed size 2 Memory Quilt (4

3" x 67" or 109cm x 170cm) which is single bed size is £175 couriered and £165 collected. I need a minimum of 20 items for size 1 and 30 for size 2. You choose the colour of the polka dot or star sashing (or a fabric of your choice which will incur an additional charge if it is more than £6.50 plus P&P per metre) and there is a wide choice available. I also offer Memory Quilts made entirely from patches of your child's clothes; there is no sashing. The size 1 measures approx 55"x 38.5" and costs £175 and the size 2 measures approx 70"x 50" and costs £230. I require approximately double the amount of clothes for these types of quilt compared to the sashed quilts but much depends on the size and type of the garments/blankets. Local drop off and collection reduces both prices by £10. A further 40% of your total is to be paid when I receive your clothes parcel in the month of your allocated slot. The balance is paid on completion of your order. Orders take approximately 8-12 weeks to complete. Memory cushions are £35 plus postage but if you order with a quilt I post them together so there is no additional charge. I don’t add in any fabrics other than the sashing and come up with the design of your quilt based purely on the fabrics and appliqués I see within the clothes �

I ask for 10% deposit on ordering and securing a slot. I then ask for the next instalment of 40% when I receive your parcel of clothes, and the balance on completion. Please send me a message if you’d like to book a slot.

If you’re local to Cannock/Cheslyn Hay pop along to our Christmas stall tomorrow from 5pm.

There’s a local winter wonderland walk where you can visit all the local houses displaying their stunning Christmas lights and join us for a hot pork bap, a mulled wine, a hot chocolate (go on, add a shot of Bailey’s 😉), handmade mince pies, gingerbread or cakes. If you were to take advantage of all of these wonderful treats I wouldn’t judge you. In fact I’d admire your Christmas spirit and giving nature ♥️

You could also buy a handmade (by me) upcycled treasure or some cute chocolate orange heads that my clever mum and friends made.

All proceeds to Brain Research UK in memory of my wonderful dad.

Been a long time, but I’ve really enjoyed designing Liz’s memory quilt. She has chosen a muslin, a blanket, a taggie and a cot bumper as well as her children’s clothes to provide lots of choice of fabrics and textures to work with 🦒🤍

Last quilt of the year and one I’ve felt privileged to create. In memory of Nathan, whose life was taken tragically at the age of 27. Here are his clothes sewn into a patchwork quilt for his baby daughter 💔♥️

Mum Sade wanted both of her children’s clothes to be used to create a Memory Quilt. I absolutely adore this beautiful photo of Brooke and Braxton with the finished item.

Sade tells me they love it as much as they look like they do - but it belongs to her! 😂♥️

With a heavy heart, I have to announce my ‘retirement’ from creating Memory Quilts… My new business is starting to really flourish and I simply can’t continue to work at both.

It’s been a wonderful 9 years and I have lost count of the amount of quilts I’ve made. I’m privileged to have met some really special people, each with their own story, some incredibly heartbreaking. What started for me as a little paid hobby to earn a few pounds a month of my own took on a life of its own and I am humbled by the amount of returning clients and word of mouth referrals I’ve had. I barely needed to advertise.

For those of you who have paid a deposit on your order, please don’t panic! I will still finish all the work I have on my books, I just can’t take any further orders.

This is the quilt I am currently working on and I will continue to post photos of all my finished work as I love looking back on it all. My next order is one which is one of the most special I’ve been asked to create…

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your patience as nothing gets turned round quick when you’re a mum of three young boys! But most of all, thank you for trusting me with some of the most precious items of clothing our babies ever wear.

Thanks for the Memories.

All my love

Lisa ♥️

Another prom, another batch of wrist corsages made for the Year 6 girls. No prom at all for my boys’ Year 6 last year, but my choice of flowers and foliage this year sends the message, “Healing and a return to happiness”. Let’s hope this summer heralds a beautiful new normal for us all 💚🤍
