This fall I made a duvet cover for an exceptional 15 year old hockey player. The quilt was commissioned by his grandmother to commemorate his hockey journey thus far. She dropped off a bag of his jerseys – and one special jersey of his grandfather’s as well. She said something like ” just go for it and have fun – I trust you”. That is the kind of thing a creative person loves to hear! Well, here is a shot of the layout that I sent for preview back in late summer:

Just today I was sent a photo of the finished quilt on his bed – I think it looks more authentic/impressive in its proper environment.
A final note about this quilt – grandparents told me that this young man was so moved by this he was speechless! How cool !
Glad I made someone’s Christmas brighter and I hope in the next few days that my family will be a little brighter with my efforts.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

I felt the need for my blog to have a new fresh look that was a bit more fun than the previous one – so here it is !
With this new look comes a photo of an ugly chair in my house that also needs a makeover! I will be making it and its two companion loveseats new slipcovers over the holidays.
Just one more service which I hope to add to my custom sewing in the new year.
I currently provide roman shades, valances, zippered seat cushions, pillows, sheers, and bed skirts. If I have not mentioned what you need here - please ask.
Thanks for looking – and I hope you like the new look!
