Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Allison Dembek, and I’m thrilled to share my love of memory quilting with you.
I was first introduced to quilting by my grandmother and mother when I was a young girl. I was mesmerized by the beautiful patterns and intricate designs they would create with fabric, needle, and thread. Fast forward many years, and as a quilter, sewer, and machine embroiderer, I am fascinated by the idea of using fabric and thread to capture memories and tell stories. Memory quilting takes this idea to the next level, transforming old clothing, fabrics, and other keepsakes into beautiful quilts that preserve the memories and experiences of loved ones. And it does not have to be a quilt! It could be a pillow, table runner, stuffed animal, or anything that you could imagine!
In this blog, I’ll be exploring all aspects of memory quilting, from choosing the right materials and creating custom designs to stitching together cherished memories and adding personal touches with embroidery and photos. Whether you’re looking to create a quilt to commemorate a special event or to honor the memory of a loved one, I believe that memory quilting is a powerful and meaningful way to preserve and celebrate the moments that matter most. Not a quilter? I would love to collaborate with you to create a unique quilt that captures those special memories in a quilt that can be cherished for generations to come!
From sharing my own memory quilting projects to providing tips and tutorials on how to get started with your own, I hope to inspire and encourage you to explore your own creative potential and create something truly special and meaningful.
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to sharing my many passions with you!
