WELCOME TO FIBRE DESIGN
The Blue Ridge mountain landscape surrounding my home has been a continuing source of inspiration to me. I have created custom weavings, off-loom weavings, and macrame wall pieces for satisfied clients for over 28 years. Primarily a colorist, I incorporate your décor and specific desires creating fibre art which becomes a focal point of your home or office.

"Tapestry weaving is much like painting~ with yarn as your palette,
and the needles your brushes.."
Tapestry weaving is a slow process of laying in one needle of yarn at a time until an image is formed. Once completed, the weaving is stretched across a frame, secured and backed with muslin ~ or simply backed with muslin for a softer look.

Working with
architects, interior designers & individual clients for over 28 years, I have created
many unique works custom designed for specific spaces.
