At Stitched Keepsakes, custom memory quilts, t-shirt quilts, longarm quilting services, and personalized baby quilts are handcrafted with precision, care, and over two decades of sewing experience.
What began as a lifelong love of quilting has grown into a trusted custom keepsake business serving families across Texas including Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, and throughout the United States.
Our Story
Meet our founder, Jennifer Bathurst.
​
Sewing has been part of my life for over 20 years. When our family adopted five children, I needed work that allowed flexibility around therapy schedules, school needs, and family life. Quilting became the perfect blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and meaningful impact.
​
What started as a skill became a calling – helping families preserve their most treasured clothing items into heirloom-quality quilts and keepsakes.
There is nothing quite like seeing someone hold a finished quilt made from their loved one’s shirts for the first time.
