Pieces of the Past

Pieces of the Past specializes in custom crafted heirloom items, t-shirt quilts, pillows, and more. Each piece we make is unique.

Established in 1992 by Scott and Deborah Fillmer, Pieces of the Past, has grown into a custom shop where we spend more time one on one with each customer helping to design and create something special for each order. In 2020 we expanded into plants, herbs, and essential oils, all of which are grown at our family farm. In a world where everything is manufactured in mass quantity, we have taken a di

fferent approach. Each product, every plant, herb, and quilt is grown or handmade with a focus on sustainability and uniqueness. If you have old t-shirts we can turn them into an heirloom quilt, clothing you no longer wear turned into a stuffed bear, an old baseball glove turned into a new leather wallet or purse. Your imagination is the only limitation, and we can even offer some inspiration and creativity for you. If you have any questions please reach out to us directly or read through our FAQ page. I look forward to creating something special for you. ~Deborah
