Meet The Maker
I’m a proud Oma (german for Grandma) to two beautiful little girls – 7 and 5 years old. They are my motivation for setting up Bee My Memory keepsakes.
I have enjoyed patchworking since 2002 when on a posting in Cyprus. My lovely next door neighbour taught me the basics and I made my very first patchwork single bed size quilt for my daughter Victoria, a Christmas present she still treasures now as an adult. It was hard work but the satisfaction to have made something so beautiful and personal from scratch was incredible. Since then I have made many more patchwork items including various quilts, table runners, wall hangings and cushion covers. A new skill was learnt.
Fast forward to July 2014, back in the UK. My own children were grown up and I had more time on my hands again when I decided I’d like to have a go at making keepsake blankets out of precious baby clothes. I had noticed these items becoming more and more popular. But with no baby clothes of my own to hand I had to beg for people in my village to trust me with some of their precious clothes. I found a lovely lady who gave me a bag of her little boys outfits to make my very first keepsake memory blanket. It turned out great and from then on Bee My Memory was born.
For nearly 2 years Bee My memory was a little side line business next to my full time job as a veterinary receptionist; a job I had enjoyed for nearly 10 years. Becoming more and more busy I had to make a choice… I made Bee My memory keepsakes my full time business.
I was lucky enough to be able to transform a whole level on the top floor in my now husband’s house into a sewing studio, a sewing room, a photography room and a room for storing materials.
This choice I have made now gives me the freedom to spend very precious time with my granddaughter and a second grandchild arriving later this year whenever I want to, which I’m so thankful for.I’m looking forward to creating many many more memory items for my lovely customers , many of whom I get to know quite well through lots of private messaging throughout the keepsake sewing process.

Why choose Bee My Memory?
In recent years sentimental clothing keepsakes have become ever so popular in the UK. It can be very difficult to find a keepsake maker you can completely trust with your precious and irreplaceable clothes items to commission a memory item for you.
Here at Bee My Memory I have been creating beautiful keepsakes for nearly 10 years. My 20 years of traditional patch working experience has helped me to develop special techniques; these skills are used to ensure your keepsake items are produced to a very high quality and result in a durable and long lasting memory keepsake item for you and your family to enjoy.
Your keepsake item will be made by me and me only. As a mother and grandmother myself I know how precious and sentimental these items can be to you. I realise there are no second chances with your clothes , I’ve got to get it right first time round. I will never outsource your keepsake to any helper or outside company . With my exceptional eye for style and design together with my sewing skills I will be able to produce an item that exceeds your expectations and I’m very confident you will be over the moon with your keepsake.
Individual and bespoke designs
I combine professional technical skills with beautiful artistry, and won’t skimp on the details that make your keepsake extra special.
The design and creation of each memory quilt and keepsake cushion is approached individually. Every patch in your memory quilt and keepsake cushion is carefully selected and placed, and design layouts are adjusted to make the very best of the clothing provided.
A Bee My Memory quilt, blanket or cushion captures all the special and cute features that make those clothes so appealing. I always make sure I use motifs and appliques, frills and necklines, button runs and pockets to create an individual item. You can choose how detailed or simple you would like your keepsake item to look, after all every ones taste is different.
A High Quality Product
I only use top quality materials for my memory quilts and keepsake cushions. 100% cotton patchwork fabrics, premium wadding, good quality threads and anti allergenic cushion inserts are used in every product.
My memory quilts are machine quilted and finished with a double-fold binding to ensure a long lasting product for you to enjoy for many many years.
How it works
Have a look at the different styles of keepsakes Bee My Memory has to offer. Quilts, blankets, cushions, animals or a Christmas stocking… and choose what you’d like to have made.
You can place an order and pay straight away through our online shop. You’ll be given the option to personalise your keepsake which is included in all prices given (up to 50 characters) as you go through the checkout process. Once you’ve paid you’ll receive a reference number and postage instructions from me. Just package your clothes securely and pop them in the post to us.
Please make sure you put the reference number in the package together with the clothes, as well as on the outside of the package (it means I can tell straight away if we have received a particular order). As your items are usually very precious I recommend that you send them recorded delivery. Once I receive your items I get creating your keepsake item and send it back to you recorded delivery as quickly as possible, but generally within 6-8 weeks.
