Meet Natalie
I vividly recall the day nearly three years ago that Natalie Chanin, author of Alabama Stitch Book: Projects and Stories Celebrating Hand-Sewing, Quilting, and Embroidery for Contemporary Sustainable Style and founder and head designer of Alabama Chanin, came to my office to discuss her book proposal. I think we became friends in the first five minutes. Click here to read a recent Q&A with her about her commitment to sustainable design, her motivation for writing her book, and her decision to return to her hometown of Florence, Alabama, after living around the world. Click here to see a selection of projects from her book.

Oh the projects in the book are fantastic. I wish I could sew but have never really gotten past a tote bag. This would make a great gift for a few of my crafty friends!
I've been cutting up t-shirts since my copy arrived!!
Thank you Natalie and Melanie for this fantastic and inspiring source for creativity and life!!!
