I had Jamie with Jelly Bean Quilts make a quilt for me out of my son's clothes...and it is JUST DARLING!! The best I have seen, by far...and I researched this A LOT. She is VERY easy to work with and really takes your thoughts/ideas to heart.  Thanks so much, Jamie!

This is the best thing I could have ever imagined doing with my sons baby clothes. She did a wonderful job on the quilt and was very easy to work with. If you have your little ones old clothes in a box in the closet - I would encourage you to look into having them made into a quilt. I know both my son and I will cherish this quilt for many, many years. I couldn't be happier!!!!

-Jennifer

All I can say is WOW! you did such an AMAZING job! I cried when I saw it! You created something that my daughter will cherish for the rest of her life! I really cannot thank you enough!!!! Your work is beautiful and I will be telling everyone I know about you!

-Tara

I just got the quilt! I LOVE IT!!!!! My husband was even excited, and he does not get excited by most things. My baby put his head on it - which means he likes it also. This is his best birthday gift. Thank you very much for your hard work. I will definitely tell my friends about you!

"Thank you for the awesome work you did on Andrew's quilt! I love it! I am so impressed.  I also noticed that you had a picture of it on your website, so i emailed that link to everyone I know! I hope it will draw some business your way!

Thanks again! it is so beautiful, Andrew even had to sleep with it last night!"

Recycle those cute baby clothes into baby clothes quilts!

Don't you feel bad throwing away those stained or too-small onsies with the cute little ducks? Can't bear to part with the fuzzy walrus P.J.'s, but know they'll end up in a box in the basement? Want a way to turn the baby clothes that are sitting in that tub in your closet into memories?

After your baby's first year, you probably have dozens (or a closetful) of cute outfits your baby has outgrown that are too cute, too memorable or too stained to sell! Don't let them end up in a plastic bin... turn them into a memory quilt!

Let me extract the love out of those darling clothes by turning the most precious parts of those outfits into an even more precious full, twin, throw, or crib-sized baby clothes memory quilt. Your baby will have the memory quilt as a keepsake of his or her first outfits, and can even pass it on to children and grandchildren. Find out more about my handmade baby quilts.

Each baby clothes memory quilt I create is unique, and I specialize in a modern piecing style that's different from ordinary, old-fashioned quilts. (View samples of our work.) Your baby keepsake quilt will have a modern and original design, and a flair all it's own. Find out more about our pricing & options.

I don't stop at just baby quilts- I also offer photo memory quilts, t-shirt quilts for adults and teens, and memorial quilts made using clothing, pictures and linens. All my handmade quilts are custom designed in my contemporary style.

So... what makes a Jelly Bean Quilt different from other baby clothes quilts? Why choose Jelly Bean Quilts?

  • Experience: I've been creating baby clothes quilts for over 6 years now - I've completed hundreds! - and I've worked with literally every type of fabric & style of clothing. You can feel confident that when you send me your clothing, I will send you back a quilt that exceeds your expectations!

  • Capturing the cuteness: Jelly Bean Quilts are about capturing the cuteness & individuality of each piece of clothing- not creating a quilt that looks like a, well, an ordinary quilt! I take painstaking care to capture every detail that made the clothing special, and I go the extra mile to incorporate bows & ruffles, pockets & buttons - whatever I can use to add to the flavor! I also am happy to applique special pieces like hats or socks onto the top of the quilt.

  • Style: My unique, modern style is really what sets my quilts apart! I quilt outside of the box - no rows of same-sized squares here! I view my quilts as pieces of art (I started out as an art major in college, after all!) and lay them out in a mosaic style, taking great care to balance colors, textures, shapes, 3-dimensional elements and appliques. These are contemporary quilts for Generation X & beyond!

  • Flexibility: I am here to create your quilt - feel free to include special requests, ideas, visions - anything! If you can dream it, I will try to sew it! Special requests always make the quilts more special - and they are great inspiration!

  • I'm easy to work with! Seriously - just throw your clothes in a box, include an order form & payment (or just email what you want & I can send you an email invoice to pay with a credit card, no problem) and ship them to me. I will do the rest! They don't need to be labeled or packed in any certain way, unless you want to add notes for special pieces, etc. Already cut up some clothing? Not a problem! Just include a few additional pieces than what I have listed on the order form, just in case. Have a special request? Want to include a curtain or Halloween costume or hat? Wondering if I can use lace or add beads or do a special size? No problem! Just let me know what you have in mind, and I will find a way! :)
