“I am struggling to put into words my appreciation for you. This quilt looks amazing, and the more I look at it the more little details I see you put into it. You’ve taken items I had hesitated to part with and stashed in the back of a closet knowing they had special meaning, and turned these items into an unique and special gift that we will forever treasure! I am so grateful for your creative vision, talent and generosity! THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH! 😍”

“The quilts are everything we were hoping for and more. It really was the perfect way to save our daughters’ baby/toddler clothes. Thank you again for the care you took in making these.”
“This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I’m a firm believer in paying things forward and have passed down much of my son’s clothing to others. However, I did save a few special pieces, but had no idea what to do with them. That’s when I came across The Little General Store. Lauren communicated with me through the entire process, requesting my input about colors, pieces to feature, etc. She even let me ship her an additional item I missed when loading my box! She worked quickly and I received the quilt in just a matter of weeks!!! I can’t believe how quickly she turned it around! She included little details that show much care she puts into her work. Lauren had a unique vision to preserve the sentimentality of these pieces and created a beautiful heirloom that my family will treasure forever.”
“I had this quilt made from jerseys/shirts from my husbands childhood and it exceeded all my expectations! The quilt is beautiful and unique. Communication was prompt and the quilt was completed faster than expected. We are so pleased and would order again in a heartbeat. She can be trusted with precious garments and will create an heirloom.”
