Wisdom Quilts is Taking Commissioned Orders for Legacy Quilts!

Legacy Quilts made to order! Capturing your memories one thread at a time.



Your Legacy Quilt is a unique work of art. It is a collage quilt made from an artist’s imagination and the interpretation of the story told by the t-shirts and optional items you provide to reflect the person’s or family’s life journey.  It will be the result of hands that become intimate with the voice that emerges from your collection of t-shirts.  This intimacy guides the artist in their design and final inspiration.
