It was great to collaborate with the Dandelion Gallery & Studio for their Threads of Liberation event.
One of the Loopy Connections community quilts was on display and Deanna looks great in the Shibori skirt we made for her with fabric from Michael McConville

Fantastic opportunity to collaborate with Michael Mc Conville and the for their upcoming exhibit Threads of Liberation

Michael dyes fabric using a batik/ Shibori inspired technique. The design colours and designs are wonderful. The fabric was lovely to work with.
