overshot and TAFA
I am delighted that I have been invited to join TAFA The Textile and Fiber Art list, a relatively new site devoted to textile arts. I feel almost awed to be in such fine company.

what the girls are wearing
I have found the most fabulous blog.....The textile blog from John hopper. I do recommend it to you all.
Still on my self imposed hiatus from buying, I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms. A nice antique primitive cutter quilt up in my etsy shop. 19th century 'turkey tracks'.

lost treasuries and fabric
Etsy has launched a treasury search that I have just found on craftopolis. To my amazement I found that I have had many more items in treasuries than I knew about!! Some of the items i.e, those that did not sell!

The scarves have both been in two treasuries. Particularly nice ones are 'Solstice' ( complex and intelligent) and ' Fudge Ripple' (incorporated both color and movement). Both deserved to be on the FP

Sally Ann, treasuries and Hermes

Inspired by a blog I read today , Judy's Fabrications, I will recount this little story.
I was in the SA on a Saturday morning and found a 19th century overshot blanket for $3.99. Needless to say I was delighted. The place was packed! In front of me in the lineup were a mum with her early teen daughter, mum buying work skirt and jacket, daughter Gap shorts and T's. They did not have quite enough cash and mum took a skirt back. I danced out with my SA bag hoping to meet someone I knew so I could boast and show what a fine eye I had etc, etc. Outside mum and daughter removed their purchases from the SA bag and put them in a shopper from the local department store.
I'm not sure what point exactly I'm trying to make but that little scene has remained with me for quite a few years.

very hot Brickworks market and a quilt
Saturday morning at the Evergreen Brickworks Farmers Market. It was very, very, hot! But all the vendors were on great form and it was well attended. Just as I had got used to the scaffolding it was taken down...but necessity is the mother of invention, so I used the X bars behind me for display. I had quite a good day. Breakfast again delivered by Chezvous, today they served a poached egg atop lightly cooked fresh shelled peas, tiny green beans, spring onions and chorizo...summer in a mouthful.

an award and more treasuries
I was thrilled that Karen of petitpoullailer nominated my blog for the 'sunshine blogger award'....not quite sure what this is, but its still nice. (perhaps I have to nominate someone else and I have a few ideas) thanks Karen
Two more scarves in treasuries today, which cheers me up no end.
