ROUND
the table

My dining room table is round.  This makes placemats hard to find because the corners prevent the placemat from getting close enough to the edge.  I could buy some ugly plastic ones and trim them, but I want the same beautiful fibers like silk with embroidery or elegant bamboo.  And then I saw them, placements made specifically for round tables.  This has made my month, thank-you-very-much.  This next Call is all about fibers.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fantastic Fibers 2013 hosted by the Yeiser Art Center (Paducah, KY), Paducah’s Gateway to the Arts.  This is show really is fantastic, and you can enter for as little as $12.  This is a gem for fiber artists…
