SPUN

Hey stitchers!  ANYONE near Denver, Colorado needs to make their way on over to the Denver Art Museum and check out the SPUN exhibit.  (Going on now through Sept. 22.)

If you are even remotely interested in textiles and fibers, this is the place for you.  I went a couple weeks ago and it was amazing.  Some of my faves?  ...the room with the batik and ikat (WOW)  ...the silk scarf hand painted by Isadora Duncan's brother, Raymond (do you think it was one of her brother's scarves that made her meet her end in that car all those years ago???)...  and of course the crochet coral reef.

CROCHET CORAL REEF, GUYS!  It's a community project, so here is your chance to make something and have it displayed in an ART MUSEUM!  Pretty cool. 

Make something and send it to ...
