Welcome to Cultured Expressions!
Spring 2008
New Ways to Experience the Beauty of African Design!

New for Spring '08: Cultured Expressions has declared May 2008 as "Make a Hot Handbag Month", and we're celebrating by bringing you a quick yet stunning bogolan (mudcloth) tote project you'll love to be seen with this season. Choose large or small mudcloth in your favorite earthtones, and stitch it up in minutes! For more hot handbag ideas featuring bogolan, kuba, korhogo, kente and more, check out African Accents On The Go! Designing Accessories with Cultural Style.

CE is also involved in the launch of the new Sewing Circle at YMIB (You Make It Beautiful), one of our favorite online communities. Our first prize winner is mentioned in the CE Blog. Watch for news of our co-sponsored giveaways, articles and other activities designed to encourage and inspire your inner sewing enthusiast!

The African American Museum in Philadelphia has chosen two CE quilts for inclusion in its spring exhibit, "Warm Spirits: Contemporary African American Quilts", from April 4 through June 1.

New episodes of my House & Home segments for "Daily Connections", a lifestyle talk show on satellite TV station EBRU TV, are being uploaded for spring. Check out episodes # 210, 222, 223, 224, 234, 235 and 236 online at EBRU TV.

Plus, watch for "African Mosaic Quilting" and "Lisa's Bangle Bag" workshops to take place in Harlem at Yara Imports this summer.
