I spoke with Jacob last night about the shirt I most recently made for him (see last post) and after altering the original pattern according to his actual measurements since his weight loss, he says it’s the best fitting shirt he owns. He said he’s worn it no less than 5 times to work and wishes all his shirts fit this well. Now I’m excited to make more for him and I already have fabric on hand!!
Winding Ways as of 4-2-14
Lately, I’ve been hand quilting the Winding Ways top and finished the main body last night. Today, I’ve begun marking the border to start quilting tonight. This photo kinda shows the circular quilting. Pardon the grungy marks. Hopefully, the next picture of this quilt will show it finished and laundered. Because I like it so much, I haven’t decided if it will be kept or gifted.
Except for some severe storms, things have been fairly quiet around here. The storms have caused some damage to Network equipment but it is slowly being repaired. We could definitely do with less lightning but we’re glad to see Spring has finally arrived.

Poooofff! You’re a vest!
Seriously, I can make vests. Since there are lots of different kinds of vests (from hunting/fishing vests to tuxedo vests), send me a simple sketch of what you want. Then I can tell you what measurements I’ll need.
