This Shawl was a labor of love! I hand-spun natural and dyed merino wool into approx. 2600 yards of 2 ply rainbow/white barber-pole yarn and 3 ply solid rainbow yarn and then hand-knit it into this rainbow colored circular shawl. I alternated between bands of solid rainbow yarn and the rainbow/white heather yarn with an eyelet row in between. Then I finished off with a wide border of feather and fan lace.

For Oversized caramel comforter or duvetMary has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed a bed cover that I could find NOwhere in stores or on the web, so (remembering another great experience with a CustomMade provider earlier this year) thought I'd see if anyone would be willing to take on an over-sized comforter, very soft and in a caramel color. I am so glad Mary responded. She offered suggestions of fabric, quilting patterns, etc., and kept in close communication. We love the final product!

For PillowJust 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!
