After hours and hours (and hours) of sewing I finally finished my latest custom order, packed it up, and shipped it off yesterday. Hal. Le. Lu. Jah. Did I mention it took hours? But despite the arduous task it was, I’m so pleased with the result and was even more thrilled with the reaction (smiles, hand-clapping, ooo’s and aah’s) to the piece.
Karl and Kaye Malone (yes, THAT Malone family) hired me to make a quilt for their oldest daughter who just graduated from high school using t-shirts from her sports teams and school events. Each member of the family also included a few of their own shirts so she’d have a piece of them while she’s away at college. (Talk about a “freak out moment” when I had to actually cut up Karl’s Jazz jersey and LA Tech college t’s! I think I measured and re-measured them 20 times before setting the rotary cutter to them.)
So. In case you were wondering, I’m pretty much a seamstress to the stars these days. :)

WOW! You did a fantastic job too, Congratulations!
Congrats on finishing. It looks awesome.

It is beautiful, Krista!! (no surprise there…)
p.s. Just watched you on GTU working your lampshade magic. You are so cute! And so are your lampshades!
i love it! i just told my co-workers today that I am going to eventually put all my tshirts today for a blanket. now i know which girl i need to go to :)
@Joy: the Malones and I have a mutual friend and she referred me when they asked her if she knew of anyone who could make the quilt. but i don’t know about “no problem” :) … the crazy thing was a ginormous king size quilt (64 square feet) and one of the most difficult sewing projects I’ve ever worked on. but fun! (well *mostly* fun, haha)
@jacey… See More: yes. now that i’m all hoity toity, that’s exactly what it means. so … :) ha! jk … actually i got slammed at the beginning of the week with a TON-o-consulting work. in fact i’ve been up since 3:50 a.m. today working my little PR brain to the bone. but i promise we’ll play soon.
way way cool
