My husband teaches a museum materials culture class at a university. He brings in different artifacts for the students to identify. One of the artifacts is a doodle cloth I did while learning to do hardanger. It's three hardanger squares and an open work border. Unless a student has a mother or other relative that does needlework, the students can't identify the cloth as handwork, they all insist it is done by machine.

How about the reaction I often get "Oh, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands". Well, no, not really. Between a (diabetic)husband and a large house to care for, cooking everything from scratch, laundering everything at home because I hate drycleaning, I could be quite busy enough without designing and making my own clothes and embellishing household linens. On the other hand, I NEED my fiberarts to feed my soul.

Now if I could just come up with a design for the padded wallhanging I need to make in order to stop the sound from the tv from going up the stairs.
