Peace Fleece Visit

1/24/2013

0 Comments

 
My Shopping Shawl Pattern will be appearing in a joint venture with Peacefleece this spring, which prompted me to leave Portland and drive up to Porter Maine to visit the base of operations.  I first learned about Peacefleece 15 years or so ago when I was living in Hawaii and we had to order some wool yarn for the Waldorf School knitting classes.  I was very pleased that we were ordering yarn from Maine, but when the package arrived I was thrilled.  The yarn was gorgeous and the "business plan" of this company was so inspirational.  I am not going to try to explain it to you here; go to the website and read for yourself.  I don't think I could do it justice.  The idea of creating personal relationships across geographical and political barriers, and having those relationships be an integral part of a business; the concept of using your business to increase the goodness in the world in many small ways, really took hold of my imagination.  I  believe that the foundation stones of Threads of Meaning were laid in Kea'au Hawaii when I opened that box and read the little folder that Pete and Marti Hagerty had included.

    About Martha


    The Threads of Meaning is a collection of my hand made creations and the materials I use to make them.  I quilt, sew, spin, knit, crochet, weave, make dolls, rugs (hooked and braided) and tat. I have had articles in Art and Antiques (May 2001) and American Quilter (Ultimate Projects 2004). I have sold work to the State of Hawaii and some very dedicated private collectors. I dye my own fibers and use vintage and new materials. I tend to prefer traditional techniques and natural materials used in innovative ways.
