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
Made from clothing that tells a story
Memorial quilts are created using clothing from loved ones — shirts, t-shirts, uniforms, or other meaningful garments. Each quilt is thoughtfully designed to preserve memories in a way that feels comforting and personal. See the Gallery for examples of recent quilts.
These quilts are handled with extra care and sensitivity, and I'm happy to guide you through the process if you're unsure where to begin.
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.
