I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to sewing. Pretty sure I got a “C” on my big sewing project in junior high Home Ec ( a C was pretty unheard of for this nerd ) and my attempts as an adult haven’t been much better. But I have a great love for textiles of all colors and textures. Not only do I completely love contemporary artists who work in fabric, but I am completely envious of their abilities. You know what they say, those who can, do.. those who can’t, well share with others! Check out these beautiful examples of textile art!
