About me
I worked in the theater arts for over thirty years as a dancer, teacher and choreographer's assistant. A bittersweet aspect of dance, or the theater, I find, is that it is intangibile, it is transitory. Fleeting if you will. You rehearse something for months, you perform it and it's over.
The process of working with fabric and creating lasting objects, is new and exciting for me.
My mom was a very crafty person. She taught me to sew,( making that gray polyester skirt in Home Ec was a piece of cake) to knit, to quilt and even to weave baskets! Somehow, sometime I just stopped doing those things. No one I knew really shared those interests. A few years back I rediscovered sewing and quilting as an outlet for personal artistic expression. I also began to take notice of some very exciting changes in quilting fabric design and a whole crafting renaissance. There are some really hot designers out there, who in turn, are being nurtured and encouraged by a very discerning, receptive, and creative community in the incredible arts and crafts movement of today.
I wanted to make these contemporary quilting fabrics more accessible for those of us living on this side of the pond, so the idea of Volksfaden ( literally translated as the "people's threads") was born.

I am committed to offering you an exquisite range of exciting and innovative quilting fabrics that will make any sewing project you undertake a pleasure from start to finish. All of the fabrics are imported from the United States or Japan. Quality will never be an issue and I only sell fabric I love to work with myself.
I hope you will be inspired to make beautiful, lasting objects.
Linda
