HandPrint Quilts^TM

Make a quilt as unique and memorable as your family!  Capture the essence of your entire family tree or just your immediate 'branch' in a completely customizable and truly unique quilt.  HandPrint Quilts utilize handprint tracings from each member of your family or group and translate them into quilt blocks.  Fabrics reflect the interests and/or color preferences of each contributor, yet combine into a stunning unified whole.

What’s more, HandPrint Quilts can grow with your family.  As each year passes, a whole new ‘series’ of handprints can be added to the original quilt to reflect growing little ones, or can be appended to include additions to your family. 

Though quilts have been grouped to help visitors envision possible uses,

any quilt or design can be customized to meet your special needs or occasion.

Oma's Crumb Quilt - 40x40 Patchwork & HandPrints

Designed as a surprise gift for her mother’s 60^th birthday, this client gathered pieces of fabric from every family member, as well as handprint tracings and signatures.  All of these very personal items were brought together into an exquisite quilt infused with the love and energy of an entire family. 

As represented by this tiny handprint and authentic 'scribbles', the energy and love of the smallest to the oldest members of your family or group can be captured and remembered in a very personal way. 

Handprints from her first birthday and footprints taken from hospital documents add another layer of memories to an exquisite wall quilt celebrating baby's first year.
