Well…I wanted to add a blog to my site. But WordPress has changed a lot in the 10 years since I last used it. And I’m working on figuring it out.
The purpose of this blog is to post about works in progress, events and announcements – things that are date-specific. A few years ago I learned that having an Events page on my website wasn’t such a great idea. I might not get in there to keep it up to date, and it doesn’t look good when the information goes stale.
So, I’ll be back with a work in progress, or three, and maybe an event announcement…

Julie grew up surrounded by fiber arts. Her earliest memories are her mother sewing. Her grandmother knit and crocheted and taught her to crochet during a summer visit to her family’s hometown in Pennsylvania. When learneing to sew in Junior High, it was like she was born to do it. She explored embroidery, crochet, macramé, batik.
Coming to LA at age twenty, her only real skill was sewing, which led to the Fashion Design program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College and being a pattern maker in the garment industry. Marriage and children followed. Julie taught Fashion Design at Otis College of Art and Design for seven years while completing her BA in Art at California State University Northridge.
Julie has exhibited widely, has been published in books and magazines, curated art exhibitions, and coordinated large public yarnbombing projects. She often speaks about the plastic pollution crisis that informs her work.
