We have finished our first Handwork Circle collaborative project! It is on display at Local Cloth Studio, 408 Depot St, Asheville NC. Note the circle!!  Also, can you find the brillig and the slithy toves? [Jabberwocky, by LEWIS CARROLL, "  ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves  " ] They are thanks to Rebecca Norris, the literary type. These and all the other elements are interwoven into a piece that was created impromptu as we passed it from one to another and let it speak to us individually.

Google us at Local Cloth Handwork Circle to see blogs about our activity (or scroll through the blogs).

The v-handwork group had the idea it would be fun to start a project that would be handed off in turns to all who wanted to join.  I started off by giving Carolyne Morrison some hand dyed linen and cotton pieces left from my own projects.  

The order of participants: 

1. Susette Shiver
2. Carolyne Morrison
