Stacked Presents Quilt
A customer from New York had the pattern and fabric kit for this quilt and wanted someone to put it together for her. She did request that it be modified to be narrower than the original pattern. She wants to use it as a wall hanging. It was somewhat challenging as I was working with trapezoids and set-in seams instead of squares and regular seams. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

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!!

May 1, 2013Just 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!

Oct 4, 2013Mary 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!
