Updates & tips from Buttonwood Originals
We may have just met....
But there is one think I know about you already.
Somewhere in your home - maybe in your closet, in your attic, in a box in the garage or even in your dresser drawer - you are holding on to a piece of clothing that you will never, EVER, be able to throw out. You will never, EVER, again put this piece of clothing on to wear. So, why are you holding on to it?
You are holding on to this item because it holds some deep meaning for you. Just touching, or even smelling that article of clothing brings back a strong memory of moments past.
Here, at Buttonwood Originals, we get it...
We specialize in preserving your memories in the fabrics of your life with custom quilts and pillows. We create warm, comforting useful items to keep your items where you can enjoy them.
Life's a Busy Place Quilts
Have you saved clothes or memorabilia from your past? Do you have a t-shirt collection from concerts, biker events, vacations, sports teams or road races? A T-shirt Quilt is a great way to take all those piles of t-shirts and turn them into a wonderful quilt that will keep someone warm, and also remind them of past times and places.
Memorial Quilts
Do you have a loved one who has passed that you would like to remember? You can incorporate your loved one's clothing and memorabilia into a quilt to wrap yourself and keep yourself warm with memories.
"Nothing can replace their Mother’s presence, but in a very real way, the (quilts) give them her lap to cry into. "
- Sandra C. who had quilts made for her friend's 3 children upon the passing of their mom.
Memory Pillows
These are great for smaller collections. The larger pillows are great as a backrest for college dorm rooms.

Preserving Memories - One Funky T-shirt at aTime
Here's a great idea for taking these t-shirts out of the darkness, and into the light.
Make a T-Shirt Memory Quilt or Pillow. Using any number of shirts (1-60), pieces of the shirts are carefully stitched together to create montage of memories.

Wonderful website...
Your attention to detail is impressive. I love the fact that you are helping others during the happy and sad times of their lives. God Bless, and continued success.
Brownie Troop Community Service
I feel that Susan went over the top to make sure each child had a large smile on there face,while stuffing the bears.Everything went so smoothly and I would highly without a doubt recommend her to everyone.If you want someone who enjoys children/people and will make you... shine then this is the best person for your needs.The animals all came out so well and the quality of them are very soft .I am so happy our paths have crossed because not only did we stuff at least 50 animals we also became friends! Thanks so much for helping our Girl Scout Troop ! Melissa P.
Great Birthday Party !
Susan, you gave my daughter a very special birthday party to share with her close friends and family. The children all loved stuffing the bears. I loved the way you were with the girls. You really listened to everything they said, cared about it, and were just so very patient with them! I will be telling others about the terrific experience we had with you!
Sydney's Fluff-n-Stuff party
Dear Susan, I wanted to send you a note thanking you for the amazing job you did leading Sydney's Fluff-n-Stuff party. Her 5th birthday was truly memorable. I've hosted and attended many, many birthday parties over the last eight years and this one was far and away t...he most special. Although the Noah's Ark stuffed animals are plush, cuddly, and adorable, it is really you who made the party so special. Your calm, kind demeanor entranced a room full of five year olds - you really had them hanging on your every word! And the way you made each child feel special and important was something everyone attending the party will always remember. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you and how thrilled I was with the party! Thank you! If you ever need a parent to act as a reference – please add my name to your list. You are remarkable!
