The Ostrich Picnic Blanket circa 2007!
It's really foggy and damp in Victoria today. I love it. And it's inspired me to return to making the Ostrich Picnic Blankets - I've got 4 in the works right now, and I'm hoping to finish 6 for this weekend's Moss Street Market and for a custom order from Fort McMurray. I'm cutting and sewing stacks of vintage wool blanket pieces, yet all I can think of is cotton. Cotton! This is because I started a fascinating book last night, "Cotton: The Biography of a Revolutionary Fiber" by Stephen Yafa.
I can't read while I sew, so I was thrilled to find this podcast of an interview with Yafa. I about to press play ... I hope it's as exciting as the book!
