Here she is! Hot off the computer of Stash Books creative designer, Kristy Zacharias. Kristy took images from a project in the book as well as from my fabrics to create this gorgeous cover with vintage spools that were photographed here in my studio. I could not be more pleased with it! I'm also very excited to announce that Inspired to Sew is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
