NEEDLE WIT FIBER ART

  After Thanksgiving... Well, I finished my Christmas shopping. Can't wait for the next Art Class, so I can finish my painting of Wissahickon Woods, taken by a friend and posted last week or so.  Actually, I didn't finish, I need to get myself some real watercolor paints so I can work at home with the proper tools.   They're on my list for later, once I get out from under some bills...Might wait until Orthodox Christmas, Father George's holiday.  He's been gone for a couple of years, I think, but he still peeks in on my day, my Guardian Angel. And just in case you missed it, here's the current flyer for the pop-up Shop at Rachel's house... Its getting close to GIFT GIVING TIME!!!! Please join me @houseofsojourn and my Co-Host Lynne Watson of #NeedleWitFiberArt for our weekly #winter #popupshop on Sundays starting November 26, 2023 ~ 12pm-10pm #DM me for details:) s

I have been been making fiber art since 1985, when I made my first 60 potholders and realized I could have made a bed quilt. I took a lot of classes in every aspect of fine craft and art that was available while I worked at Ingalls Fine Craft and Art in the late ‘80’s and early 90’s. I then began selling at craft fairs around the area. Potholders, crib quilts and placemats were my main form of expression, but I have since learned how to weave tapestries, make handmade books, needle books, prayer flags, window quilts, wall hangings and dream ca...
