As you...Thankyou Sue, lovely to 'meet' you! As you can see from my list of favourite textile books, I love Judith Baker Montano's work, and your bag so reminds me of her stitching.I'm working hard on my photographs at the moment as they aren't really hwat I'd like them to be, but hopefully they are giving some idea of what I get up to. Catch you soon!

I've done a bit of dyeing with Procien dyes - you get a really lovely 'hand' to your fabrics when you dye them, which commercial fabrics never seem to replicate. The indigo dyeing was at a workshop when I was a memebr of Anglia Textile Works, aart quilt group. We met at a member's home and prepared our fabrics shibori-style, and then dyed them using real indigo. The results were amazing! All different, so many different ways to stitch'tie your fabric prior to dyeing. I still have a few precious scraps, they'll get used up some day no doubt.<br /><br />Speak soon, pop back and see me again!

I really enjoyed reading your post about Feed Sacks and their history - I'd never heard of the subject before, but I admire how resourceful those women were to recycle them into so many other things (and how crafty those merchants were to start printing them with patterns to get people to buy their wares!)<br /><br />I was also fascinated to hear you mention you'd tried your hand at shibori and indigo dyeing in your comment; it must have been a lot of work! How did you enjoy it? I hope you'll write a post about your experiences with the techniques someday :) I never cease to be amazed by the range of techniques used to decorate kimono, but my favourite has always been yuzen dyeing - there's a wonderful video on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKG13KDqKj8&feature=player_embedded showing the process of making a yuzen-decorated kimono from start to finish, well worth a watch in my humble opinion! :)<br /><br />Your glimpses of the items you'll be selling at the craft show look positively scrumptious, I do hope it goes well for you. I don't drive, but if I can get there I will - I do love a good craft fair! Whoever picked the date for it has excellent taste too, since May 7th is my birthday, haha :o)<br /><br />Well it's been lovely vising your blog, I have to say it looks really fabulous so far - I'd never have guessed you were new to blogging :) I'll be sure to check back regularly and will no doubt bump into you in the shop again at some point. Look forward to chatting with you again in the future!
