Shannon Rose Quilts

Shannon Rose Quilts Quilts are more than fabric and thread—they're stories stitched together.

I specialize in custom quilts and quilted gifts, including memory quilts that help preserve life's most meaningful moments in a beautiful and lasting way.

Yesterday I had the privilege of delivering two very special quilts, made from the fabric stash of a family friend, Avis.

These quilts were made for her two adult children, giving some of her fabric a new life while keeping a little piece of her close.

I didn’t know Avis’s whole story, but I do know that she was someone who showed up for my family when we needed it. After we lost my mom, Avis, along with family and friends, helped us pull together an estate sale. I’ll always be grateful for the kindness and support she showed us during such a difficult time.

It feels pretty special to now be able to give her family something made from her fabric—something they can hold onto and hopefully treasure for years to come.

This is one of the reasons I love quilting so much. Every quilt has a story. Sometimes I get to know the whole story, and sometimes I’m just lucky enough to be a small part of it. 🩷

It was a beautiful night to work on this K-State quilt at Miles's first soccer practice of the season! I don't normally do binding by hand because I am way too impatient. But this one is special! Stay tuned for the adventure it'll be going on soon! Any guesses on what it'll be?

I need your help, friends! I'm having a shirt made and I can't decide between two ideas. Let me know, which one should I go with? Or should I just do both? Thanks! 🤷

Today marks 16 years since I lost my mom, Rose.

She’s the reason I started quilting. After she passed, I inherited her sewing machine, and that’s where my quilting journey began.

She was talented in so many ways—quilting, painting, basket weaving—but what people remember most is how much she loved serving others. So many knew her as “Mom Rose.”

I’m thankful for the creativity she passed down and the way her legacy still lives on in every stitch. Missing her a little extra today. ❤️

Kinusaiga (pronounced kee-noo-sigh-gah) is a beautiful Japanese art form often called "patchwork without sewing."
Instead of stitching fabric pieces together, small pieces of fabric are carefully tucked into grooves cut into a foam or wood base to create stunning pictures and designs. The result looks similar to a quilt, but no needle or thread is required!

Originally, kinusaiga artists used scraps of silk from old kimonos, giving new life to treasured fabrics. Today, a variety of fabrics can be used to create landscapes, animals, flowers, holiday scenes, and more.

As someone who loves preserving memories through fabric, I think kinusaiga is another beautiful reminder that fabric can tell a story—even without a single stitch. I had so much fun making this today!

So, tell me! What picture or story would you create?

Every quilt tells a story, let me tell you about Baba. I've known Baba and her family for over 30 years!

She was the kind of woman who spent her whole life taking care of everyone else.
After losing her only son in a tragic accident when he was just 22 years old, and later her husband, she eventually gave up their home and moved across the country to be closer to family. Even after all the heartbreak she carried, she continued pouring love into everyone around her.

When get granddaughter Amy was a single mom working night shifts, she stepped in and helped raise her babies. After surviving a massive heart attack herself, she still spent entire summers caring for five great-grandbabies so the cousins could grow up making memories together.

Then seven years ago, she experienced another unimaginable loss when another child passed away from a massive heart attack.
Three years ago, she suffered a stroke, and every single day since, her family has deeply missed the woman who rocked babies, taught them how to cook, worried over them, and loved them fiercely.

These memory quilts have brought so much comfort to everyone. Being able to wrap themelves in pieces of clothing they remember her wearing feels like holding onto little pieces of her love.

Her daughter's quilt has been such a comfort. Her grandson Adam's quilt includes her jeans and the shirt she wore the day he went missing as a little boy and she frantically searched everywhere for him. He keeps his quilt hanging in his closet so he sees it every morning when getting ready for work and every night before bed — a small reminder that her love is still with him every day.

Baba was an incredible woman who was loved by so many and I was honored to give her family a way to hold onto those memories.
