I wish I knew this BEFORE Thanksgiving
Yesterday Katharine Hansen (the graphic designer for Art on the Hill) and I stopped by Dunn Quilting to show Nicole her in-progress website.
The most rewarding (and challenging) part about creating a website for Nicole Dunn is trying to capture the scope of her services. She is an over-the-top creative fiber artist who does original art quilts, baby quilts, and custom quilts. She also offers machine quilting services, as well as binding and finishing. Her work is so beautiful, so we want to include as many pictures as possible. At the same time we want the site to be as user-friendly as possible, so that visitors can know about all the services that she offers.
The thing is, I'm always surprised by what she can do. Browsing through the store we saw little handmade purses that would make excellent Christmas gifts, a handmade raincoat, and card tables that have been covered with waterproof oilcloth.
The tables caught my eye because I have been trying to throw away our card table for months because the table top peeled off. I can't figure out how to reattach it and over Thanksgiving I had to keep it covered with a tablecloth while entertaining hoards of in-laws. Nicole was able to take the table and cover it with the fabric of my choice. If only I knew about that last week!
I would love to give you a link to her website, but it's not done yet. In the meantime, stop by her store to see her selection of fabrics, sewing supplies, pillows and quilts.
