Reviews

"Pattie is a weaver who lives her passion. She sees weaving as being part of the essence of who we are, an integral part of our history, as well as our present-day culture, and therefore in many ways a birth-rite to us all, and one that she can share with us if we wish to follow her into the world of weaving." --The Textile Blog
