FabMo

There are a few places left in Linda's Fabric bookmaking workshop on July 12th. Linda loves to make books and her enthusiasm is infectious! "Making peace with thread incorporates rubber stamps on fabric, typewriting, and a photograph, or you might make a tiny little book with hand stitching. A great variety of fabrics and trims can be found at FabMo."

Patriotic table covers just in time for July 4th! Plus lots of bolt fabrics, jewelry display stands and lots more!!
Come on by Thursday 9-5:15, or Friday and Saturday 9-2:30

Spotted at a castle in Cheverny, France—a “machine a coudre” not unlike the one we had at FabMo recently. And the embroidered bedspread in the second photo is from the 16th Century. Now THAT’s what I’d call vintage linen!
