In case you wondered where I've been lately, the holidays have hit, and hit hard. I have 3 more shows left before the day (one of them runs for two weeks), so I've been busy trying to keep up with the amount of inventory required. Not a bad problem to have.
Plus, there have been a few custom orders, and I'm never one to turn down a custom order - they're way too much fun. Two of them are pictured here, a set of personalized Christmas stockings made from two different vintage quilts (the buyer wanted them to be "boy" and "girl" without being obnoxiously pink or blue, and I think this worked) and a t-shirt quilt bought by a mom for her daughter who recently graduated from WVU. I wonder what she's wearing now that all her t-shirts, sweatshirts and pants have disappeared from her wardrobe.
The quilt has gotten further along - the photo here is of the layout, and it now has strips of denim between all the images, along with a denim border. It will be backed with navy blue sweatshirt fleece, sometime after I get things organized for this weekend's events.
Back into my cave now; I just wanted to give everyone an update and let you know I'm not buried under an avalanche of fabric.
