My primary materials are vintage fabrics and I am particularly fond of vintage kimono silk. I also teach wearable art and sewing. <BR/><BR/>However, give me any fabric, needle and thread, and I am as liable to make an unusual pillow, a hat or a wall hanging--right now I'm transforming vintage linens into small valentine "pillows". <BR/><BR/>Thank you for asking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-89656910763642388632009-01-28T05:16:00.000-06:002009-01-28T05:16:00.000-06:00Wow -- I love your mother's artistic vision.

My mother- and father-in-law spent summers there for 20 years--in very elegant rusticity, without indoor plumbing. Mr DFS will be posting about this idyllic place in future. Plus more sweaters too.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-7240015678048648642009-01-27T16:47:00.000-06:002009-01-27T16:47:00.000-06:00A loving reminiscence; I too would enjoy seeing mo...A loving reminiscence; I too would enjoy seeing more.
