About that vest….

Deb R aka Red Shoe Ramblings wrote to compliment me on the vest I’m wearing in the picture in the last entry. Thank you! I thought others might like to know that the vest is my “Frayed Edges” vest. The Frayed Edges began last January as a mini-group with Deborah Boshert, Kathy Daniels, Kate Cutko and me; recently Deborah met Hannah Beattie, another kindred spirit, and it looks like (yeah!) we’ll be growing by one, even as Deborah becomes a long-distance FE off in Dallas.

About the vest….. The first time we got together, Deborah gave us some cloth “beads” she had made. Then Kate went to the southwest, and brought home a fat quarter of the green gingko fabric for each of us. Then Kathy took an on-line QU dyeing class, and shared bits of her fabric with us…the entire color run. So I made the vest! I adapted a pattern from Making Your Own Japanese Clothing…measured out size, drew some lines on it, and used just about every square centimeter of the green and 90-95 percent of the hand-dyeds! And I totally love my vest, and especially that I am literally wrapped in my friends handiwork .
