Quilts Tie Memories Together
June 2007, Burlington, Wisconsin — Celebration Quilters creates custom handmade quilts celebrating special occasions including anniversaries, weddings, births, graduations and in celebration of the memory of a loved one. They have experience in all aspects of quilting from design to gift-ready presentation.
Artist and designer Janice Bjorkman founded Celebration Quilters in 2005 as a way to offer comfort to bereaved families, and to help tie special memories together in fabric. There are several options for families wishing to purchase or commission a quilt:
- The Memorial Quilt stitches scraps and pieces of a loved one's clothing into a quilt celebrating his or her life. It can include all types of clothing including suits, ties, shirts, skirts, uniforms, an apron pocket, even a wedding dress or hair ribbons. Photos and text can also be transferred to fabric and included. The quilts offer a way for people to wrap themselves in warm memory and help them through the grieving process.
- T-shirt Quilts are another option for preserving memories and celebrating achievements. A quilt recently completed celebrates the childhood of a college-bound young man and includes team jerseys and t-shirts as well as photos of him wearing them. He can include this "piece of home" as he packs his bags and leaves to face the challenges of college life.
- The Random Square and Cotton Mix Quilts are perfect for the special clothing people have saved and don't know what to do with. Whether it is a few pieces or many, Celebration Quilters can combine clothing pieces and fabrics in a custom design that ties treasured family scraps and memories together.
- The Anniversary Quilt allows clients to gather greetings and memories from friends and family. Muslin squares are sent out and completed squares are returned. Celebration Quilters designs and transforms the individual squares into a celebration quilt ready for presentation on a special occasion. This type of quilt can also celebrate a wedding, a bridal shower or a birthday.
