This beautiful quilt was created for our customer's dear friend as a Christmas gift. In his original job listing, he informed us that his friend loved the poem "Desiderata", the game Scrabble and bees. It was our idea to incorporate lines from the poem in a Scrabble crossword style using 2 inch blocks throughout. We even found bumblebee print fabric to include along with the various shades of grays. There are a total of 1,292 blocks in this intricate quilt and we can customize this design to include your favorite color scheme, poetry, song lyrics, book paragraphs, etc. The possibilities are limitless.

For Custom quiltI had taken a weekly photo of our son for his entire first year of life. For his grandmothers 70th birthday, we commissioned Amanda at “Songs & Stitches” to make a beautiful quilt which showed all 52 weeks in an ordered display, with his name at the top and the corners stating the birthdate and stats or height and weight etc. It was a very intimate project and came out just beautifully! We are so grateful to her for creating an everlasting memory with such a beautiful quilt. We were able to collaborate together on all details and everything is just how we wanted! Thanks so much, Amanda!

For Meggan's QuiltsAmanda did a terrific job. She took an idea I had and turned it into something very lovely. She offered her advice and communicated throughout the entire process. Not only did the product look fantastic (pictures simply didn't do it enough justice) she was great to work with. I would use her again if I need another quilt made.
