10 THINGS I LEARNED IN THE COTH TO CLOTH WORKSHOP

1. Everything old is new again. Old fabric, old clothes, old linens and lace. Old cloth to new cloth.

2. Look below the surface. You never know what you'll find.
 3. I've always loved handstitching--now more than ever.
4. Never throw away your scraps.
5. Slow down; enjoy the process; accept where you are in the process.
6. Cloth has a story to tell.
7. Listen to the cloth. It will tell you what to do next.
8. All learning should include some fun along the way.
 9. Jude Hill is a great teacher.
10. The end is just the beginning.
