I am interested in voices that otherwise might not be heard.

_Embellish/Collaborate
Crewel Linen: Unfinished Business remains unfinished and the call to action seeking collaboration continues. Some collaborators research an individual name and embroider their "findings" onto the individual's signature panel. Meeting with collaborators/stitchers is step one in planning an installation. If you  or your group would like to stitch a signature panel or host/co-sponsor an installation of Crewel Linen, Unfinished Business, let's talk!
