Re: Book Giveaway: "Schiaparelli & Prada: Impossible Conversations"
Listening to designers share their inspiration for design would be wonderful but I would alos love to read about them in this book.

I will be in NYC in 2 weeks and can't wait to explore Mood as I am a fan of Project Runway. Most of the blogs I follow are quilting & sewing related but I now have some more to explore. I find blogs are a great learning experience! We older sewers are beginning to find how much technology can expand our world.

Always read ALL the directions before beginning! I think I was told this back in 1957 by my first sewing teacher. It sure keeps you from starting things you know you can't do or don't understand.

I have been a Home Economics/Family and Consumer Science teacher for 43 years and am depressed when I see so many schools not recognizing the value of these classes. We teach life skills along side the academic skills of math and science, communication skills like reading and interperting directions. I am so glad to see more school systems beginning to recognize the personal need to care for ones self and often find enjoyment in a hobby or use the skills for employment. Several of my former students have become chefs, interior decorators, preschool teachers and some are now teaching in my field. I have been richly rewarded as a teacher, no not with money but by seeing my students become sucessful in life. Please help nuture the crusade to include these classes in Middle School & High School.
