laden with history

these two little foxes were part of a very special custom project.

one of my customers sent me an email explaining
she had a rather large collection of wool fabric... some with lots of sentimental significance.

she wondered if it could be used for a few little animals. 

we sent lots of emails back and forth, matching perfect pieces of family-loved fabric

to just the right little animal, along with details and ideas.

i've always loved doing custom orders. thinking about the little animal's new home

as i stitched away. sometimes they're destined for a couple in love, or a totem for a new baby.

it always adds something to the process for me.

this project was a whole new level of custom.
i started to picture who had touched these fabrics, wore them.

who stored it all safely for years. and who cared enough to see it used again.

it's been a particularly dear project to me and i feel rather grateful to be a part of it.

little foxes, laden with history.
