String of Purls Participated in First Omaha Sew Quilt & Embroidery Festival

We had great fun creating a "mini" String of Purls exhibit at the Sew Quilt and Embroidery Festival at the Qwest Center June 15-17. So many of our knitting customers talk about their "cross addictions" with the fiber arts. These days people are using yarn for knitting, quilting and everything in between. A good example of this is Jean Mills, a fiber artist recently located in Omaha from the Seattle area. We are lucky to have such a gifted artist who integrates yarns, fabric and embellishments to create panoramic fiber canvases. Jean conducts workshops on her techniques--a great way to expand your love of combining color and texture.

Here is a look at our exhibit. A special thanks to our dedicated Louise Rownd who did a great job with the booth!
