Coronado Keepsake Quilts was founded in January of 2009 by Carol Willis.

“After the sudden death of my friends’ 14 year old son, James, I was moved to create a t-shirt quilt for the family out of James’ favorite t-shirts. This quilt was something they could wrap around themselves, and it was a part of their son that would never leave them. Seeing first hand the healing powers of this quilt inspired the launching of Coronado Keepsake Quilts. Through this endeavor I hope to bring joy and lasting memories to others with a handcrafted custom keepsake quilt.” — Carol Willis
