Today would have been the 100th birthday of Oregon’s former Poet Laureate, William Stafford. Oregon Public Broadcasting just aired a live show from Portland’s Central Library honoring this amazing writer. Give it a listen or check out some of his poetry to inspire you in whatever you do.
Recently, I had the honor of making a young man’s tallit, a Jewish prayer shawl, for his bar mitzvah. I made this one out of lightweight wool suiting in blue/grey.
Mineral Forest fabric samples are in. That means store delivery is on the horizon! Check with your local fabric stores to see if they’ve ordered the collection from Andover Fabrics.
I found so many shapes and textures to inspire my textile designs on a recent trip to a friend’s farm in North Carolina. From farm equipment to architecture, there was something to photograph at every turn.
I’m in the process of making a large appliqué quilt with my Kyoto Garden fabrics. Very exciting to see the fabrics working together!
