Have been dying more fabric as my stocks are really low. The fabric is different which is a bit annoying, the colours aren't coming out quite like I am used to them coming out, and the fabric has a different feel. I almost feel like complaining to my supplier and begging them to get back their previous Chinese supplier. But...... the fabric still looks nice , feels nice, just is different.
And I sewed a sample piece of the Angels in Stone lino cut print I made. I like what's happening. This one was done on the more papery lutradur which also has more of a sheen, but really the type of sheen you get burnishing cotton- like theTuareg do.
The day started out all planned- dyeing and then sewing, as I needed one of the dyed pieces for the sewing I was planning- and then the high school rang up to say Celeste ( daughter)was not feeling well and could I come pick her up ( 20 minute drive there and back), and then when we got home I had some visitors from the Netherlands- I wasn't expecting them so of course my house was in the worst diabolical state( sometimes I could just curl up and disappear with the state of my house), but the visitors were just lovely!

(And Yay on your nanowrimo word count! You're doing great!)
Dijanne, what is Lutradur? I know what you mean about fabric changing. I have about 50m of homespun from KraftKolour stashed away because it is so much crappier than the stuff from Spotlight which I loved very much (believe it or not LOL)
I sent an email to your Hotmail account recently, could you confirm if you got it or not. Thanks

Orange, orange and more orange w/a splash of yellow. The colors look GREAT!
