A gathering .... 4 ... with Karen

Karen Ruane's new 6 month online class (http://karenannruane.typepad.com/karen_ruane/) has just started. I've learnt so much from Karen - a lot of it is perhaps intangible, as the last 6 months has been filled with "fly on the wall" classes - we are privy to her inner most textile and design musings. Being part of her on-line world has become (an essential) habit for me.
