There are days during the Spring where the sun is shining, but the wind has a cold bite.  The dark colors and heavy pieces that I’ve worn all winter don’t appeal anymore.

It’s Spring! Time for something new, lacy and fun worked in lighter, brighter colors!

About the Designer: Margo Bauman

Artistic crafts have always been a huge part of Margo’s life. As a young child, she learned to crochet from her Grandmother. She has also spent time doing embroidery, needlepoint, sewing, craft painting, candle-making, braiding, card-making, origami, photography, quilling, jewelry making and book-folding.

While she spent some time working on crochet projects while growing up, and later in college (degree in Civil Engineering), she didn’t devote much time to it until 2000. Since then, she has won a considerable number of awards for her exceptional work. She enjoys incorporating unusual materials (wire, nylon cord and other finds from the hardware store, upcycled clothing) in her creations.

Margo was a part of the national juried Artists in Action 2020 at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Art Center in Solomons, MD.

Margo (aka flyingflower on Ravelry) started writing crochet patterns in 2015. Her very first pattern was a Crochet Awards (aka the Flamies) Judges Nominee. She enjoys partnering with Indie dyers to create patterns that highlight their artistic creations.

She is a member of New View Fiber Works – Home of the Fuzzy Farmers (a women’s cooperative of fiber enthusiasts in Southern Maryland), and the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA).

Margo spends most days living the philosophy: Eat. Sleep. Crochet. Repeat.
