Quilting
rom the time, fifteen years ago,
that I first sat down at a loom, in the
Panama Canal Zone of all places,. knew
that weaving held a special fascination
for me.
After a few years of exper­
imentation, started to explore
different ways to make my
living as a weaver. I wove rugs,
pillows, and yardage, but it took
so long that they simply weren't
profitable.
I gave up on the idea until one
day in late
when I saw my first A
loom. I instantly knew that I'd found the per­
fect production loom.
Today, in just three years, my business
has become highly successful. I now use three AVL

I want to tell you how very pleased I am
with the premier issue of
Threads
. . . One
small point. On page 24 ("Freestyle
Embroidery") you show a diagram of the
cross stitch. Cross stitches should all
cross in the same direction. Your picture
shows them alternately crossing left to
right down, left to right up. This kind of
crossing can be used for special effects,
but the usual form is for them always to
cross the same way . . . .

As you well know, such is not the case
either historically or presently . . .

years of our time without adequate
financial rewards.
-Sheryl Karas, Santa Cruz, CA
-Richard Ha'Ynlow, Montevideo, MN
-Janice Fisher, Reading, MA
. . . The article I found most interesting
was the one that scrutinized the Geoffrey
Beene outfit . . . . Could you possibly take
this concept and make it a regular feature,
perhaps choosing garments from other
fashion houses using different fabrics and
types of garments?
-Sharon Buchner, Cincinnati, OH
. . . While men were mentioned, and two
of your articles featured the work of men,
all of the writing was by women, and all
of the illustrations showed women at
work. One might easily have come away
with the impression that not only do real
men not eat quiche, neither do they
have anything to do with fiber or fabric.
.. .I'd like to see more about the
profession of being an artisan as well as
artists' biographies. I'm also interested
in articles about the fiber arts of
traditional peoples, including interviews
with traditional artists focused on the
personal meaning, philosophy, or
folklore of their craft, in addition to the
techniques involved. Your magazine is
excellent in presenting the rational side of
fiber arts, the techniques and
profession, but it needs to have more
heart. It should have at least one article
an issue that includes the human side of
being an artist or the meaning behind
the work, the emotional or spiritual
threads that bind us to our art.
I do appreciate the magazine treating
fiber arts as serious work, but if our crafts
did not bring us emotional satisfaction
or excite us in some philosophical sense,
we could not continue to strive against
society's disregard for the value of our
work. Neither could we endure the
tedium and frustration of completing
projects involving days, months, or
. . . In an effort to shower some much
deserved attention on outstanding
teachers of spinning and weaving, the
publication
Teaching for Learning
is
sponsoring a Teachers-of-the-Year
Award. I'd like to ask the readers of
Threads
magaZine to participate.
If any of you have had a teacher who
inspired new work or taught new attitudes
and techniques, now's your chance to
show your appreciation and to let the rest
of us know about it. The winners will be
selected by three well-known fiber
teachers: Else Regensteiner, lecturer,
author, and former head of weaving at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago;
Persis Grayson, columnist for
ShutUe,
Spindle and Dyepot
and teacher at
Penland and Arrowmont, and me . . . .
To make a nomination, just send the
nominee's name and a short essay on why
this teacher qualifies for an award to:
Teaching for Learning, Box 7295,
Boulder, CO 80306. Nominations will be
accepted January 1 to April 1 5 , 1 986 . . . .
