Today I have invited my good friend Rachel Biel to join the
fun on the blog tour for Fast-Piece Applique (The Book)! I have to admit that she
is one of those people I have met on-line and always wanted to meet in person…(little
did I know that we would be neighbors-literally walking distance).
Rachel is amazing in the energy she puts in to making the world a wonderful
place for textile artists, and I was/am always in wonder on how hard she works
to pull the TAFAlist together/keep it going & growing. When I decided to move
to Paducah she was the first person I contacted here. She helped me find
my way early on. Now I am always trying to find ways to drag her away from her
computer for other fun things.
What is TAFA?
What is TAFA?
TAFA: The Textile and Fiber Art List is a membership
association of handmade traditional and contemporary textiles and fiber
businesses. TAFAlist has over 500 members from 44 countries that either
exhibit, sell, teach or all of these.
There are categories for Vintage, Fair Trade, Fiber Farming, Paper, Sewing, Mixed Media, Supplies, Printed, Weaving, Dyed-Painted, Cultural, Recycled, Embroidery, Felt, Crochet & of course my favorite....
Members are showcased in portfolios with information on what they do and where they are on the web. The List is a visual treat for any lover of textiles, and a must if you make textiles your business.
Rachel's choice for the #loveletterhearts word is SING.
So you'll want to click over and enjoy Rachel's post for the day-
