Linda Ligon founded Handwoven and other magazines covering hand-spinning, all kinds of needle arts, jewelry, and even herbs. She is a cofounder of Long Thread Media.
Rita Buchanan spins and weaves her own placemats, table runners, napkins, aprons, kitchen towels, bath towels (handwoven terry cloth!), shirts, jackets, blankets, pillow cases – in short, she lives in an environment of beautiful handmade cloth.
1999 was a transitional year for Handwoven and also its 20th anniversary year.
I never took an actual class from her, but so much of what I know about weaving I learned from Sharon Alderman.
