Fibers and Fabric

Rosemary talking fiber and fabric

 Tuesday Jan 9^th Rosemary Hargrove gave a talk about fibers and fabric.  Rosemary ran a fashion fabric store for 22 years, and is very familiar with all types of natural and man-made fibers.  We discussed natural vs manufactured fibers and a variety of weaves.  We were able to touch and feel similar weaves made of different fibers and compare.  She put a name to many fabrics she passed around.  I think all left with a better understanding of the media that we all use and why.  All were challenged to experiment and use something different in a small work.  Cathie Purdy was also there to show her collection of silk fat quarters available to add to your collection.

Thank you to Rosemary and Cathie for providing us with such an informative talk and Cathie for binging in her silk collection.  Also thank you to Carroll Lee for holding down the meeting and blog fort while Cheryl and I were gone.
