Fibre Friends’ Work

ByCarolynMB October 16, 2007

Over the weekend I visited with a couple of friends, one in person and one on a long distance call with the internet involved. They have done some lovely work so I’ll show it here.

First there is this lovely box made and embroidered by my East Coast friend Deirdre. I just drooled over it and would love to see it in person one day. It is embroidered over Dupioni silk.

The other one is a beautiful baby outfit, jacket and booties, knit by my buddy Rose. Wouldn’t that just look soooo lovely in a woman’s size? I just happen to love things knit in all over garter stitch.
