Today is March 7, 2007 and I just created my blog, with the help of my forum friend in Montana, Ruth. See her lovely fine crafts gallery at www.purplepomegranate.com.

Winter of 2010
A bright morning in St. Elmo
A few aspects of who I am
- fiberfanatica
- Mobile, Alabama, United States
- The name "fiberfanatic" is apt. Since April, 2010 I have been studying with Val Webb: Botanical Illustration and Butterflies! Love it!Haven't had much time for knitting and crochet these days, but am doing a lot of sewing. Learned to weave on a floor loom. Learned to handspin and began weaving with rigid heddle looms, and card weaving. Built navajo style looms, did basket weaving, and wheat weaving.Wrote a macrame book. A move to the South got me into English Smocking and heirloom sewing. On to lace -bobbin lace and needle lace, Hardanger, white work, pulled thread embroidery & Battenburg lace. Published a column in the Mobile Register & an article in Needle Arts on filet lace. Quilting, Fair Isle knitting and felting most recently.
