Everything I expected and more. I lost my husband 20 months ago. Having his clothes turned into something so beautiful makes me feel happy. I plan to have more of his clothing make into a quilt. Thanks so much for doing a great job.
Thank you so much! The bears are absolutely amazing. They came out wonderful. They brought tears to our eyes.
This quilt is perfect. I am so happy it was made. I was almost too scared to send the last of my late Nana's dresses. I am so glad I did because it really is perfect. Beautiful stitching and a sturdy backing on the quilt. My quilt was shipped back in a sturdy box. I am happy the quilt was so well protected for shipping.
My patchwork puppy is adorable. It is a perfect blend of my son's baby clothes. I love it.
Thank you so much to the Patchwork Bear for making this Christmas without my mom, "Bearable." Every smile in this picture comes after many tears, hugs, and a lot of "I remember that shirt." followed by a special memory story of my mom. Christmas is so difficult for us. It was her favorite holiday. I can promise you that every bear will have to endure a lot of tears, but they will also be held and cuddled and loved a lot. It's a good thing they are SO WELL-MADE. Each one is so different, personal, and exceptional. You did that for my family. I really cannot thank you enough.
My dad passed away in July, and I noticed everyone wanted to take his T-shirts as a special memory. We had all of his dress shirts left so when I found this site I got an idea....I sent them in and on Chrismas Eve I had everyone pick a bag abd open them all at once. The tears flowed and joy emerged. Everyone was overjoyed to have such a sweet memory that will last forever. Thank you to the talented seamstresses who made this blessing possible.
We had previously purchased a memory bear, so when my mom passed away a couple of months ago, I knew I would be buying again. I bought bears and ornaments for myself, my dad, siblings, and nieces, and they are simply perfect. To know we have something of my mom’s to remember her by means the world to my family. I can’t thank you enough for all of the hard work and care that went into making these memories for us!
Thank you so much for the custom bears out of my dad’s Burberry trench. My sisters were so excited!!!
First and foremost these ladies go above and beyond. The communication is wonderful!
We got my son a bear to remember his pap pap. He cried and said that’s my pap paps handwriting and his clothes, I’ll forever have long lasting memories.
The bear was absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect gift for my son’s girlfriend and created a timeless memory! Your work is always exceptional!!!
Absolutely exceptional work!
You went above and beyond to get this most precious gift to me before Christmas for my daughter!
Thank you so very much!
I highly recommend and would give 10 stars!!!
I cannot put into words how much this bereavement bear means to me. Holding it truly feels like a hug from my loved one. The craftsmanship and quality are exceptional, but the comfort it brings is priceless. What stands out most is the compassion behind the work—you can tell it was made with great care, sensitivity, and respect for the memories it represents. This is a deeply meaningful and healing keepsake that I will always cherish.
Absolutely the most unique memory of my husband has been created by the staff at Patchwork Bears. High quality, attention to each detail. A treasure to cherish in his memory.
My patchwork bear made from shirts from my mom and dad is incredible. It helps turn grief at their loss to happy memories. Got one for me and one for my daughter. Love them.
Look no further than The Patchwork Bear. I lost my husband unexpectedly 19 months ago. He was known for wearing Aloha shirts every day and had an extensive collection. I chose 2 shirts for the creation of each of the 4 bears I ordered, representing the favorite colors of my grand kids. The 4 bears were exquisitely crafted. The cutting of the fabric to enhance the prints was artfully done. I visited several sites before ordering, and found that The Patchwork Bears are without equal. Tears of joy flowed upon opening the box, thank you for your creativity, artistic eye, and skill. My wishes were beautifully fulfilled. ❤️
