shades of

the remains of Saturday's indigo vat

it didn't rain

could have been warmer

still a garden of blue at the end of the day

today the vat has revived itself

it's hot, hot, out there

so I can give this a couple more dips

it doesn't look too exciting does it?!!!

I bought about ten pieces of Khadi cloth from a small shop in Wagwam

to the surprise of everyone    why would I want so many dusters?

Khadi cloth is hand spun cotton which is then hand woven

the cloth is really chunky and gorgeous, and yes it took the dye well

I only brought a couple of pieces home with me, the rest are in a

cupboard at Samshu's house, waiting their fate either as dusters or.......

found in my Chinese steamer, dried acanthus flowers

finished    my therapy quilt,  Dentil

Dentil n. architecture

one of a series of rectangular blocks projecting like teeth 

from a moulding or beneath a cornice 

Ha, ha.   The dentist is my new 'best friend'  

in between appointments hand stitching was very comforting, and now it's done

one or two appointments to go

I feel another quilt coming on
