I designed and created this art quilt wanting the feel of a quiet winter day, fresh layer of snow with a few lingering leaves still hanging on the branches. I used a raw-edge applique process. I love tree silhouettes.
Hopeful Days Textiles
I specialize in hand-crafted textiles, specifically hand knitted shawls/scarfs and art quilts.
I enjoy the challenge of working with someone to find out what they are wanting and then completing the project. I receive great satisfaction from hearing" this is just what I wanted and it's better than I thought".
Are you looking for a custom hand-knit wedding shawl? Or a special poncho for your favorite niece?
Do you have an idea for a quilted wall hanging? I would love to discuss it with you!!
loved working with Mary Crain. She did everything i asked and kept in touch with me while making the quilt and after it was shippped.
Mary was great to work with. She had terrific ideas and was able to communicate them well. The end product was perfect. I will be using her skills again.
Mary did an absolutely beautiful job! The communication was excellent. I loved the pictures she sent so I could see the progress. It was a real pleasure working with her.
Mary not only did an excellent job with this project, she was also very knowledgeable and willing to discuss exactly what I was looking for ... not only will I give her an A plus rating, I will let every one know I am going to contact her about another project ... please consider Mary for your needs, she does AMAZING work!
Just delightful working with Mary. While the photos/suggestions she made were great, it was having the finished pillow in my hands today which is the truest testimony to Mary's artistic talent. The pillow is absolutely gorgeous in all its detail and finishing. I am certain that the friend for whom I ordered this gift will love it as much as I do. Thanks, Mary!
