Legacy Quilts Mission
The family of personalized memory products designed and handmade by Legacy Quilts enables clients to preserve powerful memories and pass on history, art and craft in an exquisitely tangible, functional and lasting way.

Inspiration and Motivation

While Legacy Quilts was officially launched in 2002, the genesis of the idea came in 1994 after, founder, Jennifer Olson-Hyatt’s mother died of breast cancer at the age of 48. As the family cleared her mother’s effects, many clothes items were put aside, in the hope that someone might make ‘quilts of memories’ for each family member.

While Jennifer had always had an interest in art, at the time she had little to no sewing experience. As time passed, Jennifer realized that she wanted to make the quilts, so true to her spirit, she dove in. What she experienced was a healing journey as each fabric memory was pieced into something beautiful, functional and lasting for her family.

Creativity blossomed in the new medium and quilting quickly became a passion, with a growing need to help others preserve such powerful memories. Jennifer notes that a great deal of positive energy is put into every creation. As a result, she loves seeing the wonder they inspire and truly understands the memories they hold.
