We had a fun Saturday with a trip to Danville Indiana for a woolkeepers 'hook in'. The weather was lovely and the skies were blue. The projects on display were amazing and wool was everywhere in beautiful colors. I managed to leave it all behind and spent my money on cushing dye to dye my own wool. I have started dyeing background for my village rug, and, I was afraid, I would not have enough of the dyes I used in the mixture. It is a big rug, and, I will need 6 yards of background.
I had a chance to work on boho again. I am making the blocks from section 2. The current color is yellow/orange.
There is plenty of catnip to harvest and dry for herbal teas. For a cat, it is a happy stimulant. For a human, it is calming.

How cool to dye your own yarn!
ReplyDeleteYour boho blocks are pretty. Are boho blocks from an especific quilt or BOM?
Have a great stitching week.
Your Boho blocks are pretty - I love that Boho Heart pattern. Do you dry the catnip until it is easy to crumble? I hope to plant some herbs in my little gardens next spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!
Sounds like your "hook in" was a hit. I'll be checking in on your progress with the dyeing of wool. Also, I didn't know about catnip tea!! Interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou were in my city! And I was up in Shipshewana retreating. Hope you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so pretty! Oh, I didn't know humans could have catnip too! I want to put some in our garden, so it's good to know that! Thanks for linking up with Monday This and That! xx
