In this posting, I would like to spotlight, one such person. Her name is Sharon, and her shop is named ShadoBox. Visit her shop on Etsy HERE
She caught my eye, with pillow covers, displaying vivid colors and striking patterns; just about anything for anyone. And from a designers viewpoint, how awesome, to have a pillow cover, and freshen the look of a room.
As pictured below, a variety of color and patterns, can be seen.

She also offers custom orders and can add a zipper to any pillow (additional information on zippers can be found here.
Sharon, fondly shared the memory of her sewing talent with me, telling me that it was her grandmother that inspired her to understand fabrics, along with the needle and thread. At the age of 7, she would sit on the front porch swing, learning and stitching, by hand. Certainly grandmothers are known for teaching many things, and Sharon most likely learned many things from someone who obviously had a talent, and wanted to teach too.
Sharon works mostly at night, from a private working room, within her home. And she feels blessed, as we all would, to have such a space, dedicated to her craft.
The time spent on the items varies, but she keeps the time down, "to make sure the potential value of the product will cover time spent." She can make several items in a single hours.
In addition to loving fabric, she also loves painting old furniture, thrift store finds like old frames, bowls, candlesticks, mosaic work with tile and glass, etc. Maybe in the near future, she will share with us, some of this amazing work.
Meanwhile, stop by ShadoBox, and take a look at the other items, her shop offers to the World.
