But fiber artists--from knitters to weavers, quilters to embroiderers--experience making in a different way than other crafters. Here’s a guide especially for them on starting, maintaining, and enjoying a purposeful daily practice while making an arresting, very personal artwork. Well-known fiber artist Tommye McClure Scanlin (author of the bestselling Tapestry Design Basics and Beyond) breaks it down into clear, doable steps.
