MECHANICSBURG, Pa. -- Before you pack the attic with dad's golf and bowling league shirts or his favorite t-shirts from a year of 10K races… or you donate your graduate's old cheerleading uniforms, summer camp T's, and favorite pair of pajamas; put some of those items aside in order to Re-new, Re-Use and Re-Cycle that clothing for a Willow Creek Studio Memory Blanket. Memory blankets are beautiful handmade quilts that are made out of carefully selected pieces of clothing or fabric that hold special meaning.

"Clothes have so many memories. Don't pack these memories away in the attic; instead, have them made into a Memory Blanket that can be cherished forever," said Willow Creek founder, Michelle Rubin.

When people get a memory blanket as a gift, they can reflect on wonderful memories and share stories of those special moments making it the perfect gift. And, Willow Creek Studio's memory blankets were recently named a Top 10 Green Gift by Natural Home magazine!

It only takes 16 pieces of baby clothing to make a 32" x 32" memory blanket and 16 pieces of adult clothing for a 48" x 48" memory blanket.

Pricing for Memory Blankets:
Adult memory blankets (made with adult clothing) 48" x 48" Memory Blanket - start at $125.00.

Once the items have been collected, they should be sent to Willow Creek along with the Memory Blanket Order Form. The staff at Willow Creek Studio put great time, care and attention to detail into creating a very special gift. The gift recipient will be able to wrap themselves warm in their precious memories in 4-6 weeks from the order date.

About Willow Creek Studio
In 2003, Michelle Rubin took the leap and started her own company, Willow Creek Baby. She started sewing vintage inspired patchwork baby blankets and hit the road selling them. After the birth of her son, Ryan, in 2004, she was inspired to make her first memory blanket. She was packing up his outgrown clothing when she realized that she could not put the lid on the box, instead she wanted to reminisce over each piece of clothing. Then it came to her. Why not use his clothing to make a blanket that could hold those childhood memories for a lifetime? At that moment, on the bedroom floor, she cut his tiny clothing into squares and created the first memory blanket. Since then Willow Creek Baby blankets have graced the pages of numerous publications and have even fallen into the hands of celebrity parents, Jessica & Jerry Seinfeld. This year, due to popular demand, the company has expanded their offering beyond their popular line of baby blankets. The company, now called Willow Creek Studio provided a unique way for everyone to preserve their own precious memories. Visit www.willowcreekstudio.net for more information.
