At Arlington Pressing Parlor, I transform your favorite photographs of loved ones or beloved pets into timeless textile art.

FABRIC PORTRAIT ARTIST

ARLINGTON PRESSING PARLOR

Hi, I’m Becki . Quilter, artist, and memory preserver.

From my cozy home studio in Ohio, I turn photographs into custom portrait quilts that celebrate the people and pets you love most.

I’m especially passionate about:

Transforming old family photos into modern textile art

Creating pet portraits that capture personality and charm

Honoring loved ones through memorial quilts

Every project matters to me. I work closely with you from the first photo to the final stitch, making sure your quilt reflects the emotion and story behind the image. If you’re looking for artwork that feels warm, personal, and crafted with care, you’re in the right place
