Felt Making Felter Textile Artist Felting in Arden, Delaware

Catching up on things

December 14, 2020 By Barbara Henry

The last several weeks have been hectic. I had a show/sale in the yard on Thanksgiving Sunday as part of the Arden Artisans' Trail and yesterday I was in the Sculpture Garden at the Delaware Art Museum for their Winter Festival.
