Fungi-inspired fabrics Anna Stoane is a Multidisciplinary Textiles Designer who recently graduated from Edinburgh College of Art. Anna’s graduate collection The Hidden Kingdom was inspired by ten species of fungi and their marvellous fruiting bodies. As part of her research for this collection, she visited the RBGE Herbarium to study and photograph a selection of fungi specimens. Fungi and mushrooms have always fascinated Anna, and her explorations started by reading Roy Watling’s Fungi book. She was inspired by images of clouds of spores being dispersed, mushrooms and elf cups with raised and distorted grids and caged structures, clusters of puffballs, organic wood-like grains, patterns and textures, crinkled and shrivelled mushroom edges and folded gills.

Kimber tackles these issues with provocative art quilts and colorful embroideries, all hand-pieced and stitched in painstaking detail.

Sewing Saved Us from a "Cold Snap" 13 Thousand Years Ago The hunter-gatherer lifestyle is often described along gender lines: men hunting, women gathering. But in reality, it was much more complex than that. Our sexist reading of the ancient past has tended to undervalue the vital importance of women in early societies. In the case of the Younger Dryas Cold Event, women were crucial to surviving generations of cold-stressed habitat. Stepping Into The Light – Selvedge Magazine This month, the Afridi Gallery is exhibiting a collection of carpets, designs and sketches by designer Sandy Jones. Sandy began designing carpets in the early 1990s after a successful career in fashion buying and costume design (Sandy selected clothes by designers in London and Paris for distribution in boutiques in the United States and also worked as a costume designer on films by Ridley Scott, among others). After having her children, Sandy undertook a textiles and embroidery course at the London College of Fashion, and she became renowned for the torn-paper collages which formed the basis of some of her designs. A client of Sandy's husband, the designer Chester Jones, noticed one of the collages in Chester's office and thought that it would make an eye-catching design for a carpet, and so began Sandy's highly successful career as a carpet designer. The rugs are made in Turkey on traditional looms using hand-spun and hand-dyed wool.
Harrisville Designs, Inc. Product Description Vale is the laceweight member of Brooklyn Tweed’s all-American, breed-specific core line. This yarn begins on the Wyoming plains with 100% Rambouillet fleece, grown by sheep that trace their lineage to medieval France, where this offshoot of the merino was prized as the king of breeds. Rambouillet is even loftier and bouncier than merino, and we spin it worsted for a soft, springy, durable two-ply yarn that yields ethereal accessories. Scoured and combed into buttery smooth, consistent top in South Carolina, the wool travels north to Maine for spinning at an historic mill and dyeing at an eco-friendly facility nearby. Vale’s custom palette of 14 shades shares some touchstone colors with our Arbor line and fills in with sophisticated softer tones.
The calming effects of sewing can help people express and heal themselves I grew up in post-war Britain when, saved from German invasion – men returned from war, children from evacuation, families were reunited – the comfort of the home became paramount. Its importance was marked out in sewn domestic niceties: embroidered tray cloths, cheval sets and tea cosies. My home had a sewing machine in the corner, an ever-ready sewing workbox by my mother’s chair and a box that brimmed with buttons for us children to rifle through by way of entertainment.
