A perfect spring day: sunshine, warmth, trees about to burst into bloom.

 

Sure knowledge haunts the edges of each thought:

Fabric Collage Class: or, What to do with all this fabric

Have a stash of fabric? Do you collect buttons, bits of ribbon, or old photographs? 

Do you pick up interesting things  - sticks, rocks, feathers - other people call junk? 

You're one of us.

Set aside Thursday evenings next month to explore free-form fabric collage 

at the Arlington Center for the Arts.
