I LOVE the materials that he creates. I think I would make napkins and use for a tablescape with seafood because the one with the little pebble look reminds me of water and bubbles. LOVE IT!!! He is very talented...NOW are you planing on making dye with your new bushes??? How wonderful they are. Did you get any materials and did you make anything?

If it's thick enough, I might just go with cutting it bed-size, do some invisible hemming, and have it be the centerpiece of my bedroom. Otherwise, I'd use it as the top to a quilt. As much I prefer a quilted quilt, this would work for a tied quilt just fine.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065892893862596866.post-77075123270924837492010-09-03T02:44:28.636-05:002010-09-03T02:44:28.636-05:00Hi Sarah!

I always mourn when I hear about traditional handicrafts dying out. Childrren are much too busy embracing the modern world to take time to learn the old crafts. I feel the same way about the wonderful straw grass weaving in South Carolina. These wonderful baskets are so beautiful but I know that the elders who do them ar also dying out and few youngster want to learn the craft.<br /><br />Thanks for an outstanding post.<br /><br />At 65, I've done it!
