Honoring Graduates: A MemoryStitch Customer Spotlight

Time to turn the tassels and toss the hats! Congratulations to all of the 2025 graduates – this is their moment to shine. Graduation is a milestone marked by years of hard work and commitment from students, and that makes graduation something truly worth celebrating. It’s a moment to take in the entire journey of their school career and show appreciation and honor how far they have come.
Grad parties are the perfect place to show off your t-shirt quilt!
To commemorate such a monumental time in your student’s life, it’s important to give a gift with the emotional weight of all their school memories. A graduation t-shirt quilt is a beautiful tapestry of memories they’ve made in clubs, athletics, competitions and so much more. There is truly no better graduation gift for your student to bring with them to the next stage of their life.
Now that graduation season is in full swing, we wanted to highlight some wonderful moments of when loved ones have made graduation extra special with the gift of a t-shirt quilt.
GRADUATION CUSTOMER STORIES
“I made a queen size blanket for my son for high school graduation using his old t-shirts from all his baseball teams, schools and clubs, military bases we have lived on and some favorite t-shirts. He LOVED it! Excited to be able to take it to college with him this summer! The quilt is a very nice quality and cozy with the fuzzy backing. Will order one for my daughter in 4-years when she graduates!” – Sally F.
“I bought this for my daughter as a high school graduation present so she could have something from home when she goes off to college. She loved this gift! It was very well made, and they had this to me within weeks of my sending the shirts. I love the backing fabric used as well, very soft. I know she will cherish this forever. Thank you for helping me make this memory for my girl!” - Kristina H.
“I have wanted to do this for my kid’s graduation as a keepsake, but I was nervous to trust anyone with keepsake t-shirts. MemoryStitch outlines the process, so it was easy and it arrived in time for graduation! Yahoo!!! The quality is top notch! Buttery soft and the placement is exactly as I requested. I plan to order another for my next graduate. Highly recommend!” - Sheilah O.
“Wanted to make a t-shirt quilt for a graduation gift, and we couldn't be more pleased! The blanket is cozy, and the t-shirt images came out perfectly. We had MemoryStitch cut the t-shirts, and I am glad we did, because I could never have done as great a job capturing the story as they did! The process was easy, thanks to clear and precise instructions, and the blanket came in plenty of time. Definitely plan on doing another one for our younger daughter too! Thank you!” – Jeffrey H.
“Thanks so much for this special quilt to celebrate my daughter’s high school graduation! The shirts represent many of Corrinna’s activities from elementary through high school. She can take these memories with her to college. Although we live in New Jersey, we have a special connection to Lincoln. We (her parents) lived in Omaha many years before she was born and attended countless Husker football, basketball and volleyball games, and Corrinna has attended two Husker volleyball camps – Go Big Red!” - Jodi W.
“I ordered this quilt for my daughter's high school graduation. I loved that it had minky fabric that I could select the color of and that I was able to have it longarm stitched. It was a wonderful decoration at her graduation party. Most importantly, my daughter loves it and is looking forward to taking it to college with her!” - Bridgette F.
“My son was so excited to see his finished quilt! It's a special way to have some memories of home with him as he goes off to college in the fall. It turned out so great...clean, crisp lines and a quick turn around from start to finish. I'm so glad I didn't try to make this on my own. You knocked it out of the park, MemoryStitch!” – Kimberly T.
