Thanks, Leslie...yes, I can't imagine not staying busy either and I truly feel sorry for those that don't have a hobby, an avocation or some kind of creative outlet. It's really what keeps me going and it sounds like you're the same way...cheers to us!
Hi Leslie, Sorry I'm late with a response but Thanksgiving got in the way...
Wow, I only have one boiled wool jacket but it's periwinkle blue and I love it! I've always been fascinated by fabrics and fabric stores as well. My mother and older sister were quite accomplished at sewing and would make my prom gowns, etc. I can sew but I just don't find it as meditative as knitting and I would imagine weaving can be like that too. It's all good though, yes?
You're welcome and thanks! Me too, I guess that's why I started felting in the first place...when I was growing up, I always wanted a boiled wool jacket, I thought they were the height of sophistication. So, I guess things that affect us like that never really go away, funny how that works.

Hi Leslie,
Welcome to AFI! As a fellow fiber artist, I'm curious as to what you do exactly...could you share a little more information with us or maybe some photos of your work? Thanks for joining us and best wishes for continued success.
