Hello everyone! I'm Lynda, joining you from Northeast Texas! I'm an author, textile artist, and lifelong creative who believes even the smallest scraps of fabric have a story waiting to be told. I especially love slow stitching, mixed media textile art, creative upcycling, embroidery, and experimenting with unexpected combinations of fabrics and textures. I'm always dreaming up new projects and finding fresh ways to turn ordinary materials into something beautiful and meaningful. I'm excited to be here, share ideas, learn from fellow makers, and be inspired by all the wonderful creativity in this group After all, we're never too old to learn a new trick—or start another project!

I love wearing handmade textile jewelry. And I love creating it every bit as much, if not more. Using just scraps of fabric, trims, and a few beads and sequins, a new piece is born.

This is what I’m working on today for a fundraiser at The Drawing Studio~ a local arts school where I teach. Media are watercolor, relief print, ink marker, and collage. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfiWQ4BvyeA/?vrfl=MXdmODNzNzlienEwYQ==
