Just received my halloween card from Shaidy (aka Rhona) with three disco diva ghosts dancing against a black background with incredible colored witches, stars, and bats. Her embroidery work is amazing. She even embroidered my address. And, on the ba…
Rhona -- So sorry. I'm new at being in a group and didn't realize that you had left me a note asking me to send you an email. Then when I finally found it, I indicated that I wanted to be your friend and your email address disappeared. Would you res…

Barbara,
Count me in. Having just moved from Ann Arbor Michigan to Savannah Georgia, I miss the fall colors and would like to immerse in them.

Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- I am interested in all aspects of art quilts: dyeing fabrics, beading, photo transfers, stamping, free-form quilting.
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- My basic skills were learned as a young girl. (In my family, lots of our clothes were "handmade.") I've taken several workshops. I also teach at the Savannah College of Art and Design and am constantly exposed to new methods and materials.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- This website has the most innovative collection of work I've yet seen. I accessed it by searching under the keyword "fabric postcards," a medium (?) I'm exploring.

- Hi MaryLou, The leaf is made from a product called Lutradur - a fibrous sheet that is apparently washable. If have done little with it so far, other than using it in cards and ATC's and under the embellisher. I just need a little more time to explore what it is capable of! Dryer sheets may be a similar product - they are something I don't use so I don't have a basis on which to compare.

- Thank you, Marja. It's the first time I've participated in a swap. Your enthusiasm and fast response have been so rewarding. I read that your card used hand dyed wool, hand-felted and embellished. Sounds like you have explored exciting avenues.

- Marja,
The card from me to you went into the US mail system on Wednesday. Heaven knows how long it will take to get to you. I live here in the south where things can be slow. In fact, people have referred to my town, Savannah, as Slow-vania. Hope you enjoy when you do get it.
