- Please answer in full as if I think you are a spammer I do not approve membership. What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- I quilt and sew. I also sell textiles from around the world. I'm drawn to texture, technique and color. I haven't had much time in the last few months to work on my own things as I've been trying to build my online businesses, but I love it when I get a chance to go into "production mode".
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- My first exposure to the needle was through embroidery. I took classes from an old lady in Brazil on Portuguese embroidery. The style was too "pretty" for me, but later the skills came back and I used them in my own way. I took a basic sewing class in high school but didn't really like it. But, I painted on fabrics and enjoyed that, but still preferred working with clay, wood and other 3-d objects. In the mid-80's I started making crazy hats to sell at festivals, then became interested in quilting and slowly taught myself the skills I needed.
- Anything else you want to say about yourself?
- I grew up in Brazil, spent 20 yrs in Chicago and now live in Kentucky (USA).
