It\’s funny that this is a question I get asked no matter what kind of textiles I\’m working with. Not usually in those words but people are often worried about how best to wash their clothing or other fabrics they have in their home so let\’s talk about different fibers and the best way to

I have a tendency to procrastinate projects. Often it is because the fabric I\’m wanting to cut is rare or expensive, sometimes it\’s because I\’m not sure I can do it well, other times it\’s because I\’m not exactly sure how to do it or if my plans will actually work. Yesterday I saw a

Every year October seems to be crazy busy for me. Usually it\’s because of Rhinebeck. This year wasn;t much different but I wasn\’t teaching at Rhinebeck. I went as a festival goer and did a book signing on both afternoons. This year\’s trip was longer than ever. I was away from home for two full
