Hello Friends, The fabulous exposition of the San Francisco?Quilters Guild (SFQG) which happens every two years is coming up at the end of this month, Friday and Saturday, March 28 & 29. Hours on Friday are 10-6, on Saturday 10-5.?
I hope you can make your way to this event. It's in a beautiful location?at the?top of Geary Street in the exhibition rooms of St. Mary's Cathedral.?Check?out theSFQG?website here:

This is my first show of the?year.?I'll be exhibiting my original fashions as well as doing a fabric purge from my collection, as I recently figured out I will not live long enough to use it all! (If you sew, you may be nodding your?head right now.) I?do?love all the fabric I have collected; now it's someone else's turn to?love it and perhaps even sew with it!
Once in a while a man will try on my wearables. I have been getting requests for clothes for men these days. Someday!
I have?been working with wool recently, with indigo and arashi shibori. So many ideas!
A happy customer wearing a linen stitched shibori upcycled top.
I have a large collection of cotton and silk Yukata, which is what I use for my original designs,
which are inspired by Japanese kimono and Guatemalan huipils. Deconstructing a kimono is a meditation for me, as they were sewn by hand 50-100 years ago. I absorb the TLC that went into making these beautiful garments. I have traveled to Japan again and again, the Mother Lode. It's rich and satisfying and makes my heart sing!
Wishing you well!?
Best, Jan
