Testimonials from our wonderful customers
 
Words cannot express my gratitude and joy that Quilt Stories by Sandi has brought me and my loved one.  He is currently deployed in Afghanistan and Sandi was able to bring our family and our love to him through this quilt. I cried when I first saw the quilt, as it was everything I could have hoped for.  Sandi is extremely professional, accommodating, and wonderful throughout the entire process.  She is very flexible and helped me find the perfect colors, patterns and design.  Sandi's very easy to work with and was very patient with me as I changed my mind several times throughout the process.  Her website is fantastic in that you can see every step of the process and is very easy to use.  She is always quick to respond and keeps in constant communication with you throughout the entire process.  This is by far the best gift I have ever given and would only use and recommend Quilt Stories by Sandi.  Her work is perfection, her demeanor pleasant, and her love for what she does is sewed with each stitch in the quilt.  Thank you Sandi for giving me a chance to be near him and love him when we are so very far apart.  Giving him this quilt meant the world to me! Thank you for all you do.

Sandi,

The quilt arrived and I couldn't wait for Christmas morning. I asked my mom to open her gift early and she did. She cried. The emotions that came from the beautiful quilt you created was priceless. The photos are so vivid and the quilt itself is perfect. I've been showing it off for days now and I've had people who have made quilts most of their adult lives look at it and tell me what a wonderful job you did. Thank you so much for your help in creating such a special gift. The fabric is just as I thought it would be and the photos are even better. It's just great!

Jamee,  Allen, TX

I received my quilt in the mail this morning!  To say that it is BEAUTIFUL would be such an understatement!  The pictures are sharp and clear and it is truly amazing to behold!  The fabrics are perfect and the colors are vivid.  I will have such a hard time waiting til Christmas for Steve to open this precious gift.  I appreciate you so much - for the way you encouraged my input, for your undeniable expertise and most of all for making me part of the whole process.  It was so exciting for me to get emails and pictures from you throughout the development of the quilt.  You were so kind and so helpful.  I know that all the quilts you make are special - that's what the whole idea is behind them.  But, when it becomes personal, as it has for me, it then becomes extraordinary.  There is one specific story behind my wanting to do this for Steve, but there are 24 individual stories behind each photo.  Those are the memories that will once again come alive for him.  To be able to give that to him will far surpass any other gift I could imagine.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may God richly bless you as you provide that same gift to countless others.
 
I will be sure to email you after Christmas to let you know his reaction and that of other family members.  This will truly be a Christmas to remember...thanks to you.
 
Take care,
Paula

quilt. I am thrilled at how beautiful it looks. The entire process
was so easy, since you contacted us every step of the way. I can already tell you right now, that when my mother opens her gift, there will be tears of joy.

Dear Sandi,
Thank you so much for our amazing quilt and all your ongoing help throughout the creation process. You made everything so simple and really went above and beyond in every way.
The quilt is absolutely stunning, even more beautiful than I had hoped, and such good quality.
The photo quality is amazing!
In addition to this brilliant gift we are also so grateful for all your superb customer service, from speedy replies to helpful suggestions and wonderful attitude. You were just an absolute pleasure to deal with and we even got the quilt sooner than expected.
I cannot recommend your services highly enough and will be sure to mention this great gift idea to everyone I know! I know my sister will just love it.
Such a special and unique gift, and we can really see the effort and heart you put into creating it for us.
I simply cannot say enough about what a pleasurable experience I have had with QuiltStories.
Thank you so much again!

Sandi,

I just wanted to let you know that I received my quilt today. It is more beautiful than I expected. The colors are so vibrant - I'm amazed at the quality printing you were able to get on fabric. I can't wait to give it to her.

I just can't figure out how you got such a big quilt in such a little box!

In this economy it's hard to decide what to buy and what not to - but I'm glad I was able to get her a gift that she will cherish her entire life.

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!

Karen , Aurora, IL

 

Thank you so much. Both quilts are absolutely beautiful. It is clear that you put as much pride into making the quilts as we do in our family. Thank you for that! I have already passed your information along to a colleague that saw me open the box. It was an absolute pleasure...and I have absolutely no doubt that I will be getting another quilt in the near future

:-)  Take care  Danielle , North Bay Village, FL  

 

Dear Sandi,

Thank you so much for my beautiful quilt!! As a quilter myself, I can see you spent a lot of time on it and you did a wonderful job. The colors and materials you chose are perfect. I was very surprised and moved when I received my quilt. I had no idea that my husband Sean was doing that for me. He told me about all he went through to keep it a secret from me, I think he should join the C.I.A. He told me how you bent the rules and let him pay by money order. Thank you for that, I handle the bills and balance the checkbook so I would have definitely have figured it out if he had paid by credit card or check.

I am amazed by the clarity of the pictures, they are bright and clear. The pictures Sean chose all have wonderful memories for me so the quilt is very special to me. I love it!!! Sean was so excited to give me the quilt, he loves it as much as I do. We were also moved by the extra CD s you put in with the pictures. Even, the box was beautiful. Thank you so much for everything you did. Sean told me how dedicated you were to this project, spending late nights working on it, and emailing him several time a week to make sure you got it right. You re dedication and attention to detail shows in the quilt. The embroidery is beautiful and a really nice accent to the quilt. As I look at the quilt I am trying not to be jealous thinking of the great sewing machine you must have, is it a Berina?
 
I will cherish my quilt forever. Sean knows me well. A memory quilt like this means more to me than an expensive piece of jewelry. Many people in the pictures on the quilt have passed away, and it will be nice to be reminded of them everyday when I see my quilt.
 
You do wonderful work, the stitch you used for the quilting is very pretty and whole quilt turned out very well. I wish I had a large wall to display it. It s almost too pretty to use.
 
I love your website with my quilt on it, what a wonderful way to keep your
customers updated on your work on their quilt. Your husband does a
wonderful job with the site. Together you make a great team!
 
Thank you for everything,
 
Carol, North Billerica,  MA

 

Hi Sandy. I received the quilt today. It is sooooo awesome. My in laws are going to love it. I am so glad that I found you on the Internet. I can't say anything but great about your company. I received the quilt way ahead of schedule which was wonderful. The only bad thing is that I don't know if I can keep it a secret for two weeks. It is so beautiful. You were right, the colors are great together. That burgundy is so much more deeper color than on the picture. Once again I want to thank you for your great service and quality of work. I will definitely spread the word about your company. Take care and if I ever need another quilt made I will sure know where to go.

Thanks a million. Our family will love it too.

I took my Mom out to supper tonight and gave her the memory quilt.

She was so proud of it that she cried. She was really surprised. You may be getting some calls about your memory quilts, several people inquired about it. One lady even made a picture of your address label. I want to Thank You again for helping me make this a very special Mothers Day for her. I want to wish you a Happy Mothers Day.

Hello,
I have been so busy within the past week or so that I have not gotten a chance to thank you and praise you for the amazing work you did on our mother's quilt! 
She was so excited when she opened it and it was so great to see her genuinely smile. I cannot believe that you are able to get pictures to look that great on fabric! I am TRULY impressed!!
My siblings and I appreciate all of the hard work you put in to our quilt, and words cannot express how much it means to all of us. She sits with it all day and sleeps with it every night. You are very talented and kind people.
Thanks SO much again, and God Bless!

Sandi,

 

Thank you for helping me create such a wonderful memory quilt for my parent's 40th anniversary.  The process was so easy and the end results were just wonderful.  The day I received the quilt, I was moved to tears at how beautiful and special this quilt really was.  I believe my mom has shown her quilt to everyone in my hometown.  She is so proud of it.  I love how you were able to capture 40 years of family life in such a unique way.  

Blessings,
Nicole,  Spicewood TX  
 

 

Dear Sandi,

 
I just wanted you to know my parents loved their quilt you made for their 50th anniversary.  We had a surprise party for them and presented the quilt to them.  Everyone loved it.  All my family was pointing out different pictures and saying, "look, that was at so and so's house" or "look at that one."  It was great watching everyone going around the bed checking out all of the pictures.  It was also special because even my brothers were happy that we had done something so awesome for our parents. I just wanted to thank you again for helping us give such a unique gift.
 
Love,
Debra ,  Vernal, UT
 
 
Sandi,
 
I just received the quilt and it is just wonderful!
I am sure my parents will be totally thrilled when I give it to them. :-)
I have showed the on-line version of the quilt to a few friends and will certainly send anyone your way with a wonderful referral.
 
Thank you again for everything!
 
Jill,  Dunn Loring, VA

Thank you sooooo Much!!! My grandmother received her quilt and she loves it so much.  She said she started crying when she saw it and has been showing it off to everyone.  She loves the colors and the pictures and the verse on the top and found it to be perfect for such a gift.  Thank you for your fine work and just the joy you have given my grandmother with this wonderful gift.  Your talent is touching lives it's touched ours.
 
Thank you so much,
Melba,  Houston TX
 


Dear Sandi,

I received the quilt today.  It is just gorgeous.  Thank you so much, I know my parents are going to love it.  I showed some of my coworkers and they couldn't believe how clear and colorful the pictures are.  My brothers are in awe over how cool it is.  Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, I can't thank you enough for this special gift.
Love,
Debra Vernal, UT  

 

Today is the day, and this morning we gave it to her and she loved it. She didn't really know what to say and she wanted me to be sure to tell you that you did an amazing job and she will for sure tell people how great you are! You do more than make a quilt you put your heart into to it as well and it was a beautiful master piece. I have had so many compliments on it. I loved it, wish i would have come to you when i got a blanket for Brooke ( the other girl in the picture who, was in on this with me for Katie).

thank you again so very much Sandi!!
Kalie, Niles, MI

 

Thank you so very much, Sandi for all your hard work on Stephanie's memory quilt. I really appreciated all of your work. Your suggestion of including the monogram and the flower made the quilt more personal. I know the memory quilt will be treasured. I am so excited about the gift. I can't wait to get to MN to see the quilt in person. Your web site was fabulous for keeping me informed on the progress of the making of the quilt. You are special.
You have a talent and sharing your gift of quilting with others is priceless. Thank you very much.

Stay well,
   Sharon,  Sanibel, FL
 

Sandi,

I am without words at how remarkably made my parents quilt is!
It is absolutely everything I hoped for and wanted for their 35th wedding anniversary!

What a blessing it has been working with you during this memory making
event. You made the entire process easy and worry free. I enjoyed staying
in contact with you and being able to enjoy watching the process on my
personal web page.

My parents are going to be so thrilled at the love and care that it took to
create such a beautiful quilt! Words cannot describe all of the joy I feel
when I look at it!

Thank you for making this possible for me to give my parents such an awesome
surprise for their anniversary!!

Dear Sandi,

My Mothers 50Th birthday is coming up and I wanted to do something special for her.  I was searching the web for ideas and came across Quiltstories.com.  I thought this is the perfect gift for my Mother.  I started to research it more and check out other memory quilt web sites.  I even called a few local places and the prices were insane.  So I kept going back to quiltstories.com.  I started e-mailing questions to Sandi and was surprised at how fast she responded.  Some responses were within minutes.  After a few days of talking with Sandi, I decided this was the ideal gift.  My Grandmother (her Mother) has recently passed away of breast cancer and I thought it would be the best gift in so many ways. 

Throughout the e-mails, Sandi informed me that I would be able to be a part of the quilts development.  I was able to choose the colors and once I had decided on the colors she e-mailed me pictures of different types of fabric in those colors.  I have to say she has beautiful fabrics.  It was just perfect.  I loved the fact that each person is given their own web page and is able to see the quilt in process.  I was able to put the pictures in order and see it before it was finalized.  I was so surprised that I got to play such an important role in the development.  It really makes the quilt that much more special!

When Sandi was finished she had posted pictures of the quilt on my web page.  It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!   I received the quilt about a week ago and have to say "WOW!"  The pictures don't even do justice to the beauty of the quilt.  I was so shocked!!!  It was GORGEOUS!!!  The stitching was amazing.  I couldn't believe how beautiful the quilt was.  I couldn't be any happier.  I was even amazed at how well the pictures looked on the fabric.  They were clear as day.  Looking at the quilt brought tears to my eyes.  I can't wait to give this gift to my Mother.  This is one of the first gifts I have given her that has come straight from the heart. 

 I am so proud but I couldn't have done it without you Sandi.  Thank-you so much for all the time you put into this quilt.  It really shows.  I love it so much and I know my Mother will too!!!!  You'll be hearing from me again soon.

God Bless You

Stephanie, Phoenix, AZ


DEAR SANDI,

JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT MY MOTHER IN LAW LOVED THE QUILT YOU MADE FOR HER 70TH BIRTHDAY.  WE OPENED IT IN FRONT OF 30+ CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS AT HER SURPRISE PARTY LAST WEEK, AND SHE WAS OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTION.  EVERYONE AT THE PARTY STOOD IN AWE OF SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CREATION.

I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND YOUR WEBSITE, AND MY HUSBAND AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE GIFT YOU CREATED FOR OUR MOM.  MAY YOU CONTINUE TO KNOW HOW MUCH THE WORK YOU DO TOUCHES MANY LIVES.

GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR STAFF AND FAMILY.

MICHELE,  RINGWOOD  NJ

 

I have had the honor of working with Sandi and Quilt Stories.  I would not use anybody else.   Sandi is exceptional, the customer service is impeccable and the quilt I ordered is remarkable!  Sandi worked with me step by step to create the perfect memory quilt for my son's 7th grade auction project.  

When you look on the internet for somebody to help you with your projects, you really do not know exactly who you are working with.  You don't have to worry about Sandi.  She is a person who takes her craft seriously and wants your experience with her to be one you can remember for years.  You can trust Sandi.  She is true to her word.  Isn't that great in today's world?

I would highly recommend Quilt Stories for any special occassions you might have; weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, she can do it all.  Sandi does not make quilts, she makes works of art.

With that said, I am glad I found Quilt Stories.  I will be emailing you, Sandi, for more quilts.

Karen,  Thousands Oaks, CA

 

Good Morning Sandi,

 WOW!!!!!  That probably best describes the impact on the recipient and others when we revealed the beautiful memory quilt at Bea-Be's surprise birthday party!!!  Several people requested your contact information and I enthusiastically directed them to your website. 

Also, thank you so much for the awesome CD with the happy birthday photographs and music.  We showed that along with the quilt and it provided a very emotional impact during our presentation!!!

 Again, Sandi, we cannot begin to thank you enough for the awesome process of working with you to create this amazing memory quilt!  You have made this experience very pleasant and painless, too.   You are very detailed, thorough, and obviously committed to excellence as evidenced in the completed product.  I am in the process of collecting photos to include on the quilt that I would like for you to make for my dad's 90th birthday in March, 2008. 

You are wonderful!!! 

With Regards,

 Althea and Family, Reisterstown, MD

 

One of the luckiest days of my life was when I was surfing the web for a memory quilt site and came across quiltstores.com. I perused the site and was pleasantly surprised at the plethora of information that was there for potential customers to view.

As I was viewing many different sites for memory quilts I kept coming back to quiltstores.com and I decided that I would send a message off to them with general questions and see what they say. Well much to my surprise and pleasure my email was answered right away and that is how my two gorgeous lap quilts began their journey to me.

Sandi you allowed and encouraged me to be part of the quilts development process which in turn makes the quilts a loving process that I can relate to my grand-daughters who are the lucky recipients of these amazing lap quilts.

You have weaved your magic through all phases of the quilts process. From selection of the pictures, the important selection of fabric (and you went outside the box and got fabric with the designs I wanted and also symbols), to the placement of the pictures, and even to the color of the thread to match and blend the fabric. You are an artist of quilt making and your love of family comes out in your work.

I applaud you for what you do and how you allow other people to not only share these memories with their family but to take away with them a little of your wonderful spirit of love.

Thank you just does not seem enough but there it is ....

Best Wishes,
Estelle ,

The quilt came today and it is even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined! The stitching is so lovely and the colors are absolutely perfect.  Thank you so much for your hard work and effort put into making this wonderful quilt in such a short time-frame . It is very clear to see the love you put into your creations- you should feel very satisfied that you are able to bring joy to those of us looking for a such a special and unique gift for our loved ones. I will be sure to take pictures of my son and daughter-in-law to be when they are presented with the quilt.  

The personal website gives a fantastic personal touch to the entire process.  As I told you, several of my friends have seen the web page of my quilt (as well as the others on your website) and loved it- wait until they see the real thing.  You may be getting additional customers in them in the future. 

Thank you again,

Donna , Warwick, NJ


We got the quilt in more than enough time. We loved it! My mother in law cried, she said it was the best present she ever got. The quilt is so incredibly beautiful and I enjoyed the process of making it so much and your customer service is great. Thank you for everything and I will be contacting you in the near future about one for my mother.

Thanks,

Amber, Ellendale ND


The quilt looks great! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I know my mother will love it. 

John, Moor Park, CA


I received the pillow on Thursday. It was perfect. All the kids (in the photos) had dinner with Mom and Dad and she opened it there! She cried. She absolutely loved it!! It goes perfect on her bed with her comforters and all the colors of the room. The fringe even matches the wood in the headboard!!  I can't thank you enough for your wonderful work. I hope to make another one with you sometime soon. Dusty (my husband) and I are hoping for our first child soon and I want to make a quilt for the crib. I'll be in touch!!!!

Julie, Fuquay Varina NC


Everything is wonderful.  Thank you again for such a terrific job.  You will be hearing from me again as I will be getting married May 19th and I’d love a wedding quilt or wall hanging.  You’ve got a customer for life!

Thanks again, 

Kim, Hilbert WI


The quilt is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  I love it!  It is even better than I hoped for.  You have my permission to display it on your page.  Thanks again

Hi Sandi:

I've attached a few pics from the party; it turned out sooooooooo nice!  Everyone was just taken back by the quilt; they loved it!  The first pic is of my mom & her companion (Jimmy); the second is the pic of me showing everyone the quilt; the third is a pic of my mom blowing out the candles on a little cake (we got her a little cake w/20 candles on it; 10 to symbolize the last 10 years of survival and 10 for the next).  Again Thank You for all your help!

Rashona, Franklin, VA


My wife (and all of her friends at work!) loved the quilt.  Thanks for the bonus pillow and the anniversary card.

Scott, Elk Grove CA


Sandi,

      I just wanted to thank you one more time and let you know how much my mother and sister love their quilts.  I made my sister wait until she was on the phone with me to open hers.  I put her on speaker phone and my mother and her opened them at the same time. Of course, they were both crying when they saw what they were.  Liz was actually sobbing, but my mother just had tears trickling down her face.      They each think theirs is the prettiest.  My sister said "mine is red and black with hearts mom is yours?"  Mom told her "no, mine has iris".  They were both crying and telling me how I always find the perfect gifts.  Mom took hers over to her brother's house to show him and then to my dad's sisters to show them.  I am sure it will also go with her to the next Iris club meeting!   

    They also loved the added bonus of the pictures on the DVD.  You just thought of everything.  Thank you so much for making this Christmas such a special one for my family. 

God bless you,

 Suzanne, Tulsa OK


I just went to the site and saw the beautiful quilt!  You have done such a wonderful job and so fast!  I cannot thank you enough.  My parents are going to love this.  If you have business cards, please send me a few went you ship the quilt so I can refer some friends to you.

Sarah,  Aurora OH


The quilt top looks great. I really like how the colors came together and the prints you picked out.

Thanks,

Vonda, Columbus OH


 Just wanted you to know we received the quilt today and we love it.  The pictures came out very nice.  I like the colors too.  Thank you so much for the picture CD's.  We really appreciate it.  The quilt fits nicely on our bed, but I am not going to use it for everyday use.  It is just for looks.  HA HA.   

     Once again I just want to thank you for doing such a good job on the quilt.  We finally had a chance to sit down and watch the video and it was great.  My father recently passed away and they made one of him that we were all able to purchase.  Those types of things are priceless.  It is very much appreciated that you took the time to do that.  We will also treasure the quilt for many years to come.  Thanks,  

Will and Vanessa,  Lincoln Park MI
