The Clothsmith was born into a clan of masterful New Hampshire craftswomen. Her secret skills of redeeming fabric remnants for use as colorful accessories were honed under the watchful eyes of the sewing circle. No idle hands were permitted in this scissor-wielding sorority; cloth-hoarding was not only tolerated, but secretly envied. Private fabric stashes were handed down as treasured heirlooms. One of her early childhood memories was the arrival of a battered old trunk, donated by some of the generous town folk. It was full of cloth swatches and notions. “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies belts to the tradesmen,” the eldress chanted as they divided the spoils. These moth-eaten scraps were transformed into an array of unique clothing that later graced the store windows downtown. From this modest beginning, she began making coverings for herself along with heavy quilts for the family. This made the wizened ones proud. She was now counted as one of the Cloth Smiths. Prudently using material without waste, she integrates layers of color, texture, and shapes until the new cloth becomes part of the flow of her next creation.
Fabric Alchemy: May the circle be unbroken.
