closet measurement more like welcome Date: Mar 20, 2008 2:19:38 AM PDT Author: knittedJoe This is just a welcome more then anything else, but it is also a topic for discussion. I have added this new element or venue to the website and inviting you to use it. Why? That would be the question is there a need with in the Canadian textile and fibre arts community for fibre quarterly as a Magazine, as a place for discussion about things that are of interest to you? For instances: last week at the weaving guild I belong to we had a speaker, Michael Gervers, He is a professor of History and Art History at the University of Toronto. He spoke about felt and felt making in Mongolia. he was very specific about Textiles being woven and fabric being none woven (felted knitted fused) he showed examples of early Mongolian felt found in a 1930ies dig on the Russia Mongolian border from the BC ear that had appliqué designs sewn on to them. He also showed contemporary examples that are quilted white on white and typical of today’s work; he made no comment on the loss of colour or applied decoration. This to me is a place to begin a discussion; do you know anything about this?   Reply to this Post
