I was thrilled with Charlene's amazing job on this quilt for my son! Not only does he have a one of a kind piece of art, but also one that will keep him cozy and warm! Nathanial says: "Thank you for making this. It looks amazing. I've had those shirts for over 15 years. It is great to see it finally come to fruition!"
The whole experience was a pleasure. Great communication about the project, and quality and workmanship were excellent! Only wish I had more t-shirts to make another. Thanks Cha Cha. Highly recommend
Charlene recently made a quilt I gifted to my daughter. It brought me to tears! I gave her 12 articles of clothing - one from each month of her first year. She truly left me speechless with the final product. Her communication was perfect while also throwing in some creative surprises! Her creativity with adding the bows throughout, using difficult articles of clothing spelling her name and her hospital baby blanket as the backing was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Charlene!
My mom passed away December 23, 2008 and I have saved her clothing
for all of these years, always yearning to make a memory quilt out of
them for my sisters and myself. I found Charlene on Facebook and
something drew me to her. Working with Charlene was an absolute
pleasure. From start to finish I could not have asked for anyone better
to work on such a special project for me. She kept me updated through
the whole process and sent me pictures of her amazing progress.
One thing is for sure the pictures did not do these amazing quilts
justice. I received my quilts today and I was completely blown away
at the outstanding craftsmanship and detail in each one of them.
You can tell she puts her heart and soul in to each and every quilt
she designs. Her talent is undeniable! She also made an amazing
teddy bear for my two year old niece, so she will also have a piece of her grandma forever. Charlene, I can’t thank you enough for what you
have created for me and my family! My sisters and I will cherish
these for the rest of our lives!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️
Charlene was amazing. She made sure I had full control of what I wanted and followed through with all of my suggestions and addressed all of my concerns. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
I kept a bunch of my daughters shirts when she was growing up. Also added on items from great great grandma items. She now has one spot to treasure her memories instead of just put away in a box somewhere. Thank you Charlene!
My dad opened up the box and he loved it! We cried it out together. It's so beautiful. It looked great in the picture but it's so much more beautiful in person, and I LOVE THE bear! It's so cute! Thank you so so much for everything. My sister said she wants one too and I sent her a picture of your cards. You really are an angel. I'm so grateful for you. Today was one of those days for me and this just made it so much better!!
IF you are looking for a way to preserve special memories with clothes or blankets of a loved one, Charlene is a very talented, caring, fantastic girl who can take your idea and give it life. Her attention to detail, incredible. She will work closely with you and update you along the way. I've had 8 quilts made and 9 pillow cases, each and every one tells a story and is a priceless keepsake.
I sent Charlene a bag full of my Auntie’s and Mother’s used tablecloths, doilies, and placemats, you name it. She returned to me not only a Beautiful Memory Quilt but a Lovely Memory Pillow too. She designed them both. Just Gorgeous!! Now we can have Mom and Auntie with us all the time. Thank you!
If I can give a 10 out of 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Cha Cha Handmade! I plan on buying again and again. My wife’s heart melted when she saw her gift. Her words, best gift I’ve given her.
"I can not recommend Cha Cha enough. I waited a long time to find the perfect person to turn my husband's old wardrobe of collared shirts into some special items. The quilt and memory bears were done so perfectly with a lot of time and effort. You can tell that lots of love went into making them which was exactly what I wanted. I was included in all the decisions and everything came out better than I could have hoped for. The finished products literally brought tears to my eyes, If you are on the fence with a memory project... this is the person to put you at ease and make it perfect!"
"Charlene was meticulous in making sure that she incorporated the memories of my Mom within every inch of my Memory Bear. She listened. She cared. And her work was flawless. I couldn't be more thrilled with her sensitivity, her professionalism, and her obvious talent in designing and creating a bear that allows me the opportunity to give my Mom a hug whenever I need one."
