Artisan Spotlight - Fabric Fascination

Seven questions is our spotlight on our favorite artisans. Please welcome...


1.     What do you sell in your shop?  
 I sell fabric, kits, sewing tools, and pre-cut quilt blocks.

2.     What is your favorite thing about etsy?  
 I love the energy of having thousands of creative individuals sharing their work and ideas.

3.     What is your least favorite thing about etsy?  
 I would like to see the featuring of sellers on the front page and in articles be more democratic.  Maybe there could be a rotating group of sellers who would choose what shops to feature.

4.     What does your studio/workspace look like? 
I have a whole room filled with fabric, sewing machines, scrapbooking supplies, knitting & crocheting projects, stamps, all kinds of papers, and miscellaneous crafting supplies.  I am a craft dabbler.

5.     What do you do to relax?
 I sew, garden, swim, walk around the neighborhood, do yoga, and lately have taken up playing Words with Friends.

6.     What accomplishments are you the most proud of?  
 I don’t know if you would call them accomplishments, but my children and grandchildren, and of course my husband.

7.     What are some of your goals for the next year?  
 I would like to get more patterns and kits designed and listed in my shop, finish some sewing projects,and build up the advertising sponsorship on my tutorial blog.

I agree with Nancy! I loved the part about being a "craft dabbler"! That I can understand!

Rose Clearfield said...

I think a lot of crafty people can relate to the craft dabbler notion!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with all kinds of supplies :)
Every time I see that fabric roll, it makes me smile...Looks like a rainbow :)

Kym, it was great to read about your "craft dabbling." You did not mention your other Etsy shop, kimbuktu, which features some of your wonderfully sewn items. With all that you do, I suspect you do not have as much time for that as some other things, but the items in there, especially your bags, are great!

Very fun to get to know you better, Kym - and I agree, those are wonderful accomplishments that you listed!
