I am liking this much better, now.
Contemporary Woven Boro is over and I am left with a deepened appreciation of fabric and how it can be put together, as well as of Jude Hill's dedication, knowledge and experience through her making. What a gift! Also, I mentioned Magic Bobbin Washers in a previous post and I am using them after experiencing some machine problems and the problems have cleared - so it seems they were a worthwhile purchase.
And another:
After rinsing these out, I spent most of yesterday at the sewing show, getting tips about sewing with silk, buying books and even finding a bit of Japanese fabric! I had also heard about a product called 'Magic Bobbin Washers' that are little teflon discs that fit in a machine bobbin and help prevent thread build up or nests, so I added those to my basket, too. The roof of the conference centre where the show was held had a cap of snow, this year:
There were icicles on the fountain in the courtyard, too, but the sun reached right into these water glasses casting shadows onto the white cloth.
All in all, an exhausting but profitable day.
