eyes full

I have been in New York shopping the markets for the Spring/Summer 2011 season. I quickly found things wonderful and new, and then took to the street....and the gallery, and the museum, cinema, park, restaurant...the better to fill my eyes and revive my weary stitching spirit.

interview

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Laura and Nate for Forefront Fashion, a blog keeping tabs on the stylish goings-on in Portland. Take a look at what they found of interest at COREY&CO., aside from my yardstick. www.forefrontfashion.com

on the road

'Spent some time on buses and airplanes last week. Lots of time for mental sewing.

fabric as friend

Sometimes fabric is your friend. It can let you create shapes, even add its own opinion. Who knows what this wacky, open-weave cotton was originally intended for?Who cares? It let me sculpt. And then again, sometimes fabric is your foe. I have a love/hate pile where I throw the miscreants. A few days apart and we make our peace, usually a 180 degree turn from the design I started with. Perhaps I will expose them in the next post....if they don't shape up.
