Better "than another bathrobe gift..."

Unique 90th Birthday Gift

A customer wrote us about the VoiceQuilt she created for her Mother's 90th:


"My 90-year-old Mom loved the gift - it turned out very well. Nice for her to hear from friends and relatives, many of whom live out-of-state. Folks were happy to call in to share their good wishes and "remember when" stories.

The gift was well received by all and many say they will use the service in the future.

Much more personal and endearing than another bathrobe gift!

Thanks again."

Perfect, Sentimental 50th Anniversary Gift
