Long time friend, Mary Ray was in town presenting a trunk show of her fabulous garments at Waechter's Silk Shop in Asheville.
Mary is known for her impeccable construction, innovative and classy designs. Her long list of credentials include multiple fashion show awards, designer for Fairfield & Bernina Fashion Shows, Editor with Threads Magazine, her own custom fashion design business, Bernina Artisan, as well as a giving and talented instructor. She and her husband moved to Banner Elk about 6 years ago where they own a wine and cheese shop.
Though we probably only live less than 2 1/2 hours away.....to this point, we've only seen each other on the road, so it was great to have the opportunity to see some of her new work. I hope you'll enjoy this mini show.
Mary advocates pressing, pressing, pressing before during and after construction. She likes to use Hobb's Wool Batting and thinner drapey fabrics rather than heavy cottons.
