Been awhile

Summer Workshops over for another year.   I managed, by popular 

request, to squeeze in just one more indigo session.  A bright 

but chilly day.  A heater keep the vat up to temperature.

On Saturday six students came along to stitch their dyed cloth.

Despite two thirds of them not being familiar with a sewing

machine, by the end of the day all had a quilt top in the

making.  How good was that?!!

It's been a funny old summer one way an another.  I've been

busy taking workshops at home, and along the south coast.  

So many lovely students, and what fun we had.

In the spring my father in law became increasingly frail, 

his dementia really taking it's toll.  He lived at his home

just round the corner from us, with two carers calling 

in each day. Keith has been spending his days

between work and looking after his Dad.  Ted was

 admitted to hospital in July.  He passed

away peacefully this afternoon.
