I’m a much-transplanted fibre artist and editor now living on Vancouver Island, in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, aka the lower mainland aka Metro Vancouver. Richmond is also on a couple of islands so I figure the name still applies!
Most posts will be about my creative endeavours, usually fibre arts. However words tend to creep into my creative work too, hence the name.

Glad you got your problem fixed. enjoy the weekend. Tony
My family saw you at Organic Islands Festival doing great work guiding children as they made artistic panels for an upcoming quilt. Can you please keep your readers informed about when that quilt is done and where it may be viewed upon completion?
Michael,
The Victoria Quilters’ Guild is planning to start assembling it this weekend. It will for sure be on display at the Guild Quilt Show at the Saanich Fairgrounds on May 14 – 16, 2010. See http://www.victoriaquiltersguild.org
In the meantime the Organics Island Festival organizers will have it for display at various events. I will keep everyone posted!
Hi, thanks for the visit. Which fibers do you work with? As you saw on my page I’ve done some work with felt and I feel it’s a wonderful material.
Mostly quilting with cotton but some silk and other assorted fabric. If you look back through my blog entries you can get a feeling for what I’ve done. https://textisle.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/the-emperor-finished/ is one post showing mixed fibres which were dyed AFTER being sewn together. Felt is great because it’s faster to work with!
