Everything we create is a hand-made piece of wearable art. No two pieces are ever the same!

We encourage you to stop by and see our newest designs at the upcoming summer art fairs we'll be at, and also visit the specialty boutiques where you'll find our unusual, sure to be noticed, pieces of art.

Here are some EXAMPLES of our original, one-of-a-kind, fiber art pins :

                            We have some exciting news that really                                                        brightened our gray Midwest winter,
                                                     and we'd like to share it with you!

*************The dates for this year's IQF - Long Beach are July 26-30, 2012 and we are excited to tell you we WILL be teaching again at the Saturday Sampler - it's a brand new class and we hope you'll all stop by to say hi and try the technique we'll be talking about.***************

*************We've also received notification that one of our pieces had been juried and accepted into a BOOK which will be published August 6, 2012. The title of the book is Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry and our pin is one of 500 "of the most breathtaking beaded jewelry designs created in recent years". If you'd like to see the beautiful cover or even pre-order the book, you can click on this link to Amazon : ********************

Panno Bella means " beautiful cloth " in Italian. With that as a starting point, Panno Bella Fiber Arts  began....

Darlene Habanek and Susan Reading have been friends for over 30 years. Darlene had always been a traditional quilter, while Susan liked to work with many different art mediums. When they decided to collaborate,  Panno Bella Fiber Arts came to be.

Darlene taught Susan that you can paint with needle and thread, and Susan taught Darlene that coloring outside the lines isn't necessarily a bad thing.  They both share a fascination with fabric :  colors, textures and patterns fuel each of their imaginations, not to mention their always expanding fabric and fiber collections.

All these interests have led to the creation of original pieces of wearable art. Every pin, pendant, purse, jacket and postcard they make is unique in design - truly one-of-a-kind.  And with that as their main              tenet, they continue to create fiber art that pleases the eye and sparks the imagination.
