Winter Warmth: Cozy Up with a Custom Quilt

Brrr! The frosty winter chill has really set in, bringing with it dreary days of snow and ice. Now, snow and ice can sometimes be rather beautiful, of course, but it’s always so much more enjoyable to view the beauty of winter from inside your home. Imagine the comfort of a picturesque roaring fireplace as you escape the outdoors. In winter, our homes become a safe haven of coziness and relaxation.

To keep as warm as possible during this chilly winter season, you deserve to comfort yourself under a t-shirt quilt made up of your favorite memories. You see, a t-shirt quilt not only provides physical warmth but also emotional warmth. And in today’s blog we’re going to explore exactly all the ways your t-shirt quilt will warm your body and heart for the winter months.

EMBRACE THE SEASON WITH WARMTH

Stay cozy in your t-shirt quilt – inside and outside!

First, cuddling up with the perfect t-shirt quilt makes everything about the winter warmer and more enjoyable. The weather outside might be cold and blustery, but that means you have the perfect opportunity for comforting indoor activities. Reading, watching movies, doing puzzles, crafting and so many more things breathe life into a time that can easily become dreary. You can surround yourself with what makes you comfortable, and you can embrace the items in your home that give you nostalgia. Better yet – transforming your nostalgic clothing into comfy t-shirt quilts gives you the best of both worlds! With MemoryStitch, you can find warmth easily and embrace how cozy winter can be despite the weather and the long nights. Winter is a time to see everything you have to look forward to in the spring and summer while also looking back at where you’ve been.

IDEAS FOR YOUR WINTER QUILT

There are so many ways to make your quilt uniquely your own!

Another fun way to get cozy for the winter is to make your t-shirt quilt all about the season! Themed quilts are so fun to pick out shirts for and to have in your home, so let’s look at a few ideas for them:

• Holiday-themed Shirts (and Sweaters!): Show your spirit for the holiday season with a themed quilt! Gather together all sorts of Christmas, Hanukkah or other holiday shirts for a fun and festive display quilt or holiday movie companion. Your favorite holiday sweaters are also perfect additions to your themed quilt.

• Family Event Souvenirs: If your family has a yearly winter or holiday gathering, that may come with a slew of themed t-shirts! Create a brilliant collage that not only reminds you of the comfort of family but also upholds a long line of historic tradition.

• Sport Jerseys: Embrace your love for football, hockey, basketball or another wintery sport in a t-shirt quilt. Is there a team you’re a ride-or-die fan for? Or have you played for a team for years? No matter your connection to the sport, a t-shirt quilt of storied jerseys will be a warm companion for watching the next game on TV. 

We’re only scratching the surface for what your themed winter t-quilts could be! Get your creative juices flowing, and get inspired by our ideas to create the perfect collection of shirts to match your personality and needs for winter warmth.

A THOUGHTFUL WINTER GIFT

Share the love and the memories with the gift of a t-shirt quilt.

There’s nothing more personalized and heartfelt of a gift than a keepsake filled with a person’s memories. For winter birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions, consider giving your loved one a t-shirt quilt that will keep them completely cozy for the whole winter and every winter for years to come. It’s a fantastic winter activity too to get together with your loved one and decide on which of their t-shirts and clothing they want transformed into their new favorite quilt. MemoryStitch gift cards are another wonderful option for people who you know will have fun doing all the designing and selecting!

Also, remember, it’s truly never too early to start planning for the next holiday season!

STAY WARM, STAY CONNECTED

Feel the warmth all the way in your heart!

Your custom t-shirt quilt is so much more than a blanket. A t-shirt quilt is also an important bridge that connects you to your memories and also to the memories of those around you. Even more than any of this, a t-shirt quilt can be an important connection to a loved one who has passed away. Clothing captures the personality of a person – a snapshot of their essence – and through creating a memorial t-shirt quilt for a deceased loved one, we are able to celebrate their life and to keep that connection to their soul alive. To create a sense of emotional warmth during long winter nights, there are few things as powerful as that.
