Lori Mason Design Studio -- Hand-made Memory Quilts

Special Event

Highlight an event in your life

Life happens and it’s nice to remember those special events we experience with people we love. Commemorate a wedding, anniversary, birth, or any personal event with a custom quilt.

Details and Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of events have you made quilts for?

I have made quilts for weddings, anniversaries, births (baby quilts), graduations, retirements, birthdays, and meditation retreats.

What kinds of fabrics do you use?

Many kinds. In general, non-stretch fabrics are best. You may supply meaningful fabrics you want incorporated into your quilt, or you may choose from a selection of linens, light wools, or my own print collections.

What is a wedding quilt?

My wedding quilts are made out of fabric supplied by either the wedding guests, family members, or both. It’s a wonderful gift that can be given by a small group of people or the entire wedding community. Choose from a selection of my original quilt patterns or work with me on a custom pattern.

My daughter's wedding is in 8 weeks, but your turn around is 14-16 weeks. Can you make her quilt in time for the wedding?

My wedding quilts require time-intensive work that is difficult to rush. If there is insufficient lead time, one great option is to make a lovely swatch book with samples of each fabric to give as a gift on the wedding day as a “sneak peek” of what’s to come. There have been times when a quilt is finished sooner than 14 weeks, but it depends on the complexity of the project, our schedules, and other factors.

How do I care for my quilt?

Quilts that use primarily cotton, linen, and some blends may be laundered in a front loading, tumble washer only. Cold water, gentle cycle, air dry. Quilts that may include various combinations of synthetic fabrics should be dry cleaned only. **All fabrics should be laundered according to their instructions before being shipped to me.
