Custom Quilting Services
At Lori's Quilting Shop, I help turn unfinished projects and treasured clothing into beautifully completed quilts and keepsakes. Whether you have a quilt top that needs finishing, clothing with deep meaning, or a special memory you'd like preserved, every piece is handled with care, experience, and respect.

Quilt Completion Services
From quilt top to finished quilt
Have a quilt top ready but not quite sure how to finish it? I offer full quilt completion services so you can enjoy a finished quilt without the stress of the final steps.
Memorial & Memory Quilts
Giving memories somewhere to live
Memory quilts are made from clothing, but they are really made from memories. A favourite shirt, a familiar fabric, or something worn every day can bring back a person, a place, or a time in your life.
Turning those pieces into a quilt gives the memories somewhere to live — something tangible to hold, use, and keep close, while preserving the stories behind the clothing for years to come.
Memory Pillows & Keepsake Bears
Smaller keepsakes with big meaning
For those looking for a smaller remembrance piece, I also offer custom keepsakes made from clothing or special textiles.
- Memory pillows (various sizes)
- Keepsake bears with optional button, cuff, or detail accents
These make thoughtful gifts and are especially meaningful for families who want to share a loved one's memory among multiple people.
“Working with Lori has been an incredible experience from start to finish. Her guidance, creativity, and thoughtfulness transformed my idea into a quilt and keepsake bear that are more beautiful than I imagined. Every update had me genuinely excited. The finished pieces are perfect and will mean so much to my family. Lori is truly gifted at what she does.
Lori made a beautiful baby quilt for our niece's first baby. She outlined her process in the beginning so I knew what to expect. She was very easy to collaborate with to ensure that the colours and design met my expectations. Lori communicated closely throughout the process. I received the quilt a few days ago, and it turned out so well. It is a charming and beautiful keepsake! Thank you, Lori, for all your hard work!"
