Campus Quilt Review and $150 Gift Card Giveaway!

***Contest is Now Closed: Congratulations to Laurie C!***

The Campus Quilt Company has been seen on NBC’s Today Show and The Rachel Ray Show and I had the honor of working with the Campus Quilt Company recently! I can’t wait to share this exciting review and amazing giveaway with all of you!

Leigh Lowe, President of The Campus Quilt Company, began this company in 2000 based on a thesis project for her MBA which she turned into a company dedicated to turning old clothes into lasting memories. I know many of you have a pile of old t-shirts, jeans, or baby clothes that you just can’t seem to throw away, and this is how you can turn those clothes into treasured memories! If you have a husband who is a sports fanatic, you can easily create a customized quilt based on his favorite team. If you have a child who plays a sport, all of his/her t-shirts and sports memories can be turned into a quilt. The possibilities are endless…which is why I am so thrilled to host this giveaway!

Although t-shirts are typically sewn onto the fabric to make these beautiful quilts, the company didn’t even bat an eye when I shared my “out of the box” idea. I wanted to preserve my baby girl’s “first” things, so I opted to create a customized Wee Quilt. They worked with me and said, “If we can get a needle through it, we can quilt it.” Here are some pictures of my gorgeous Wee Quilt:

You will find I included my daughter’s first gown, pacifier, doll, ballet slippers, bib, hat, shirt and Jersey Girl onesie. My daughter’s name is also embroidered on the bottom middle square (I covered her name in the picture for confidentiality purposes) along with the year.

I could certainly use this quilt, but since it is such a beautiful show piece, I have decided to hang it in my daughter’s bedroom. All of those “first” things would have ended up being boxed up and placed in my attic. Instead, I have now turned those precious items into a beautiful quilt for all to see. And the best part is that my daughter will have it for life!

I took these pictures close up so you can see the detail and workmanship of this quilt. From every seam down to each square, this is truly a beautifully made product of high durability and quality, something that will remain in my family for years to come.

There are so many different ways you can personalize these quilts and there are so many options available; you have choices in fabric, colors, sashing, size of each square, etc. The customer service department did a fantastic job turning my vision into a reality. Take it from me, nothing is impossible at Campus Quilts! If you have an idea, they’ll make it happen. They even create photo quilts, based on your own digital photos. How awesome is that? You can find a bunch of ideas from this page here.

So, here’s the exciting giveaway: The Campus Quilt Company is giving one of my lucky readers a $150 gift card to purchase their very own custom made quilt! Can you believe this giveaway? I know, it’s incredible! Think holidays Theta Moms! This would make a perfect gift for anyone in your family!!!
