note from Liz

25/03/2009 by Liz.

It has been some time since last writing on the blog, fortunately there is more e-mailing between the Loosethreads group. I have managed to complete two wall hangings, average 38” by 25”, the blue cockerel using up scraps of indigo fabric, that should really have been thrown away. And the Arabic Blue Camel also using fabric dyed by me.Pakistan has been difficult to adjust to with respect to shopping, food and heat. However, I came prepared, packed all of my procion dyes, fabric for dyeing, wadding, sewing machine and cottons. There has been a trip to the Lahore Fortress, a couple to Dubai, good for stocking up on essential items from shopping list that one would not care to survive without. Then there is John, my 10 year old who still is chaperoned by mum when he has football, tennis, swimming and school pick up. So between cooking meals, and recovering from avoiding near death mishaps with Lahore traffic, I have time for my patchwork. I’m now working on my next project, a fantastic perspective of Lahore Traffic circling a round-about including donkey and horse carts.
