I Like to Learn
Learning makes life joyful. Well, not every lesson is FUN, but for the most part, learning does bring joy. Finding a new craft, art or subject to learn about is like discovering a favorite author wrote a whole series of books you haven't read. I don't always do anything with what I'm learning. But I am rarely bored.
A recent interest is fabric design. I love finding and looking at antique fabrics and the variety of prints made. I love the whimsy of some old patterns - and it's amazing how modern some Civil War fabrics feel. A dear lady sent me some antique fabrics last year and I have so enjoyed looking at them and thinking about who designed them, where and how they were printed, and who wore them! I am enjoying reading The Textile Blog, seeing examples of antique fabrics and learning about copyright law in 1842.
So I ordered some books on fabric design and fabric printing. I'm really looking forward to learning about this! Dixie Redmond

Fabric design IS exciting...thanks for the link. And, who has time to be bored...right!
I'm with you-I love to learn too.
I have just a little experience with printing on fabric-some silk screening and simple block prints and stencils. I look forward to seeing some of your designs.
