Yarn Bombing’s Twentieth Century Pioneers
Mickey Stam completed a Masters degree in History of Decorative Arts in America from the Smithsonian Institution/Parsons School of Design by writing a thesis on Twentieth Century needlework kits. She will share what she learned about women’s drive to express themselves through fiber, to personalize their home’s despite mass production, and to use kits only as jumping off points for their own creativity. Please bring to show some fiber work that you began with a kit, but you then personalized in some way.

Directions to Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 4622 South Lamar
From South Lamar at the river
Go south on South Lamar from the river/Lady Bird Lake about four miles until you see the spaghetti-type highway on the horizon ahead of you. Go thru the light by Brody Oaks shopping center and pass under Ben White/290/360. Stay on the access road in the right hand lane. After the light at West Gate Blvd., start counting driveways. The church is driveways 5, 6, and 7. Driveway 5 is the Fellowship Hall, driveway 6 is the Sunday School Building and driveway 7 leads to the Ministry Building where we will hold workshops. If you get to the boat storage place you have gone too far.

Take the TX-Loop 360 South/Capital of Texas Hwy exit. Scoot over to the right-hand lane when you can, then after 4/10 of a mile take the exit to the right “Lamar”. At the top of the long hill you will reach Lamar Blvd and you will turn right. Lamar is a multi-lane divided highway at that point. After the light at West Gate Blvd., start counting driveways. The church is driveways 5, 6, and 7. Driveway 5 is the Fellowship Hall, driveway 6 is the Sunday School Building and driveway 7 leads to the Ministry Building where we will hold workshops.
