Sew Mama Sew! Free Spirit Artist Trio: An Interview with Fabric Designer, Jenean Morrison. There are people I meet who are sweet. Others who I'd describe as nice. And those I put in the creative column. But, every so often, I stumble upon someone who is sweet and nice and creative. Meet, Jenean Morrison: terribly talented and terrifically personable, she has been a joy to work with since our first conversation. Jenean is a true "surface designer. " S4H: I found some mentions in my research of your mother being an artist. JM: There is so much seriously creative talent on both sides of my family.
My mother was a big inspiration to me as I was growing up, and now I have become an inspiration to her - both with my career choices and in my design style. S4H: You are quoted as saying you didn't get serious about your design career until you were in your early thirties. JM: I waited tables.

Several people have asked about the techniques we used when cleaning out my mom’s fabric stash last week. There are of course many ways to purge, sort, and organize fabric, which I’ll write about later. But first, I wanted to address questions about the folding station and the folding method we used. It’s the same method I’ve been using as I’ve been sorting and organizing fabric in my own apartment. Here you see an in-progress picture of my new studio corner with stacks of uniformly-folded fabric. This is a method I first read about from Monica, the Happy Zombie and later from Marilyn Bohn’s video.
Of course there are other ways, but this is the cheap, easy, quick one that works for me. The height of each folded piece varies according to how much yardage you have to begin with. To accomplish this, you’ll need a stack of fabric (45″ wide works best, though other widths can be accommodated), a flat surface, and a large quilter’s ruler. Pull the ruler out from the center of the fabric. Portabellopixie. Ann Kelle.
