Invitation for those of you interested in cultural textiles

I am a quilter, but I also sell ethnic textiles on Etsy and eBay. Part of my love for these textiles is the story they tell about the people who make them. Being around them for over two decades also colors or influences my own work. I started a blog, Fiber Focus (http://fiberfocus.blogspot.com/) that seeks to explore some of the impact fiber products have on our lives and in our history both on an individual level and when it is part of a community, as are many fair trade and green efforts. This just led to starting another group here on Ning by the same name, Fiber Focus, that hopes to develop a community around this theme. If interested, come visit!

I'm also always looking for people who want to write articles for the blog. You can contact me through Etsy if interested. Use the Etsy label on the blog to see who has been on before.
