Handcrafted Keepsakes Are Equal Parts Comfort, Memory and Tribute

Online, June 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Nancy uses fabrics customers supply and remakes them into one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pillows or quilts. Her business is located in the northwestern suburbs and customers can find her product line on the web at www.memorypillowsbynancy.com

She encourages patrons to repurpose baby's first dress; mom's favorite, no-longer wearable outfit; and the hoodie a teen cannot be persuaded to give up. She remakes items into pillows or adds them to a quilt. The repurposed fabrics allow customers to put their arms around their favorite memories. The pillow covers are removable for easy cleaning. Customers are thrilled with the result. One woman's response is typical, "I have been pleasantly surprised with the variety of emotions I encountered. This gift with its unique power positively creates a connection that is soothing and of immeasurable worth to my life! Thank-you!"

Recently Nancy's products were a featured fundraiser for the Jan Malloy Scholarship at Mother McAuley High School. Members of the graduating class of 2010 purchased signature pillows that read "Mother McAuley, Class of 2010," as well as embroidered alumna pillows or one-of-a-kind keepsakes made from old school uniforms and sweatshirts.

Another customer says, "These items have strong sentimental value to us and we really appreciate the care and skill you put into making them. They'll always be displayed in our home. Thank you again for such a wonderful idea!" Prices of the finished pillows start at $28; larger items have a higher price depending upon size and intricacy. Standard pricing for a quilt is $12.00 per square (panel). Customers are invited to call or email if they have questions about an order.
