[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crazy Quilting

[River Woman]

Joyce, I will ask her and then if she is willing I will get you two 
connected to set up the date for it. Her name is Kay Wallace and she is an 
amazing quilter.  She has worked for years in historical research on civil 
war period fabrics, colors, techniques (married to an historian of the civil 
war) . In recent years she is working in very contemporary colors, fabrics, 
and is very knowledgeable on the most exciting designers on the market at 
this time, esp. Kaffe Fascet (sp) who was a fiber designer who now creates 
yarns and fabrics, too.
