Why I'm here


To teach! To learn! To share and explore!

Enrolling the kiddies in a needlepoint, embroidery course in a week. The woman is herself writing a book, her shop is beautiful. Learning the technique dating from Louis XIV of hand embroidery. Her shop website, Lin et Petits Points Paris explains a bit and showcases the library she has.

Took a tour at Parsons, Paris today. WOW is all I can say. I'm afraid all the girls want to transfer. It was so creative, unreal labyrinth space with loads of light and creative textile design, felting, fabric painting, etc. Thank you to my new contact here, Kim, with her loads of experience and kind ways to introduce me to them, and arrange for such a quick visit.
