Remember the early-December afternoons when Grandma tied on her apron and whipped up your favorite Christmas cookies? Or the skirt Mom liked to wear on summer vacations? Or the family celebrations, when she set the table with the good china and linen napkins?
Fabric artist Jennifer Gomez remembers them well.
Talented Jennifer designs sets of colorful cloth napkins, vintage-look aprons, classic skirts and more for her small business, Traditionally Unique! Unlike their old-time counterparts, though, these handmade creations have vibrant colors,user-friendly shapes (her cloth napkins are rectangular, so they won’t slide to the floor and leave you hunting under the table!), and the idea, as Jennifer’s Etsy page says, of being “easy and fun”.
At the springtime Patchwork Show, Jennifer talked about her background of her fabric art, some of her favorite fabric art and the designs she has available for Christmas (or Hanukkah) shopping season, 2013. (And, heads-up–if you have a classic-style gift in mind and don’t see it on her Etsy page, she does do custom orders!)
