Leah Kramer

Leah has been crafting ever since she could hold a pair of safety scissors. Somewhere along the lines she thinks she inhaled too much glue because now she is attracted to crafts that are irreverent, ironic, kitschy, or cleverly eco-friendly. She resides in Boston where she is an owner of the "coolest store ever," Magpie, and is an organizer of the not-your-grandma's craft fair Bazaar Bizarre.

crewel world

Artist Katherine Shaughnessy operates Wool & Hoop, a crewel embroidery company. After grad school (fiber arts) at the Art Institute of Chicago, she was an artist-in-residence in Michigan, living in a woodland chalet along with Doegirl and her other mutants. For a few years, she wandered the country in a van, painting murals and making dioramas, before stopping in the Chihuahuan Desert, where she now lives with her husband and their baby girl. She is busy raising chickens, designing crewel kits, and making and teaching art. Lark Books published her first book, The New Crewel, in 2005.

helena keeffe

I have been sewing since my first lesson on my great grandmothers old Singer machine when I was nine years old. I have continued to experiment with needle and thread, often incorporating fabric elements into my idea based art projects. My sewing machine and computer machine have most recently been joined by a solid-state digital audio recording machine. Currently re-learning crochet.
