Episode 95: Walnut & Indigo

by Sara

cover95aThis episode features the following segments: The Front Porch, The Back Porch, Off the Shelf, Ever-expanding Skill Set, and Sheep to Shawl. One interesting aspect of my course at Fiber Craft Studio is the change in seasons and decor at our class sessions, which are weeks apart.  Tables are adorned with thoughtful and focused centerpieces, which often feature a hint of the topics that will be covered in that day’s class. The colors and textures draw the viewer’s eye and serve as enchanting little vignettes.  Today, I purchased some felt pieces so that I can keep the spirit of the course present when I return home.
