The magic of textiles

Oh No!  Look at the date I totally missed putting anything down for early March.  As it turns out I was busy playing with textiles!  First I attended A fascinating lecture.  It was offered by the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts in Melbourne Florida.  (FIT)  Yes, an engineering school with a textile gallery!  They also have a great textile production program and have plans for a state of the art textile department.  I also received my John Robshaw pillows that I had ordered at the NYIGF.  WOW! Talk about transforming a room. The power of a beautiful fabric is amazing.  Yes it is possible to transform a whole room with a few great fabrics properly placed and draped in a desirable place.  The room will immediately come to life.   The best thing is that unlike furniture you can rotate pillows and throws according to the season.  My advise is not to skimp on price tag . A well made throw pillow is worth the money.  It is all in the details.  Finally as of March 12 the world of interior decor has been abuzz with the news that Duralee will be producing John Robshaw fabrics.  LOVE!  Think about the possibilities!!!  Dining chairs, benches, ottomans, curtain panels... Can't wait!
