Thank you for writing about hand craft creation. It is rare to have it acknowledged in this current tech culture. Like you, my grandmother taught me to sew and embroider when I was five. I learned to knit when I was seven and now at 71, I feel lost if I don’t have a project on my needles. Gifting others with things I knit/make is a way to express love…I sew quilts and baby gifts, table cloths and runners, kitchen towels and bath towels, unique artsy clothes, make jewelry to match, and over dye thrift store finds. Lately I’m making fiber sculptures that express my personal transformation experiences.

Functional beauty is living art. As it fills our spaces, wraps our bodies with love, and connects us to deep wells of creative joy, we craft loving connections just like your grandmother’s hand knit sweater wove her into presence with you.

I found you through my son Mark Luterra….its lovely to find resonance with those of you who feel so here, so real, and so interwoven with Life.🌎
