What is your dream? What do you really want? One thing that I want is to finish my projects. It feels so good to me to get stuff done. So, I practice my art; I practice completing my drawings and quilts, one step at a time, and enjoying the process. When I finish something, I feel good. Then I move on and begin the next thing, work to finish and then begin again, acting as if my dream is already true, I already have the life of creativity-the life of an artist. The life within is the perfect life. I am acting as if all of my quilts are already sold! :-)) For purchasing information click here |

Ulla de Larios: My attachment to fiber art and procedures is at the very core of who I am. I am a knitter, spinner, I crochet, embroider, dyeand more. However, my focus lies in weaving, which I learned from my Grandmother in Sweden and which provides me with the most freedom and variety to create. During many years I made home textiles and clothing for my family and have in the process learned the essential craftsmanship that is needed to expand and advance my art.
