This week fabric collage is at the forefront of my brain. As we put the final touches on our Day of Creativity class Saturday with the Richmond/Charlottesville ASG, previous creative projects come to mind. Today we will look closely at the Our Lady of Guadalupe quilted Tabula Rasa Jacket (TRJ). …
Embellishing fabric for a unique garment is one of my passions. It is also the organizing principal behind our French Retreat which we hope to host again in August of 2022. It was there that I first envisioned a summer weight embellished garment combining my interest in collage and stencil…
