the female moths are busy laying eggs now and i am busy preparing things for my booth at the upcoming Long Beach Quilt Festival. my booth is my nest of sorts for the duration of the show and i like to see it properly feathered.
jude’s spirit will be with us as well. she is sending this and a few other things for proper feathering.
the ribbons are piling up under the full moon-
some threads will make an appearance in the indigo *department*
(cotton and silk-solids, ombres, shibori’d)
also new in the *indigo department* will be a selection of what i am calling Whole Cloth.
larger pieces of indigo fabrics including my sea and sky fabrics as well as shibori indigo.
due to the time required to make these, they are somewhat limited.
they include cottons, silks, hemp, linen, wool and other interesting fabrics.
above us only sky-left to right-sunny, partly cloudy, & June Gloom
i will be posting up more pics as i can but most of my time over the next week is devoted to nest making.
Gaaaa! Wish I was going to be there to fondle all of these goodies in person.

What a scrumptious collection! I long for the days when I can have an indigo vat of my own. Someday….

i saw that the textile center in Eugene OR has one for people to use at a minimal price. kinda cool. maybe there is something like that in your area.

OH! I may try and go as I will be down there in LA waiting for the birth of a new grandchild. I love all the indigo you will have as well as a chance to see Jude’s piece. What fun! I hope to see you.
