fiber artwork 

I learned to sew with probably the rest of my generation:  in Home Economics class.  Honestly, I absolutely hated it and really cannot remember why.  If I had to guess, I think it was too exacting.  Measure this, cut it in this manner, measure again.  I am too much of a rebel for that! 

The entire class was making gauchos (the trendy new pantwear) and my pair looked like, well, they didn’t look like gauchos.  The only garments I am interested in making are aprons.  There’s a story behind that.  For now, just know that I love fiber in almost all its forms.  From paper to yarn, from silks to natural cottons, if it can fit under my machine needle, it is able to be used in my work.
