Today I pinned the backings to the fronts. Here is how it looks all put together- INSIDE OUT. This is the back side of the batik and side panels. I have been looking at it so long this way that I all of a sudden got to thinking that I'd just spent all this time pinning it and it's actually the right side that faces out! In had to go look at the original and am happy. I did it right! Phew. Ever done THAT before? If you are a quilter it's obvious which side is the right side. With batik it's not always so clear.
Halfway through the pinning I had a monster hot flash. Had to start removing clothing. Decided not to take pictures for the blog of that OR of the dog drooling on the side panels. She would NOT stay off these banners. She was eventually tossed outside. Animals. They love it when we are down on the floor with them.
I'm quitting for today. Tennis is calling me and I have some things to walk down to the post office.
I finished revising my Dyeing with Tea and Spices classes and sent them to Carol this morning. This is going to be a great class! If you have taken this class in the last year or so, you got to experiment with the spices portion of the lessons. So now, we not only stain with teas but we get turmeric and mustard powder and saffron and onion skins and all kinds of good stuff you have already in your kitchen that can dye up cotton into beautiful subtle colors.
See you tomorrow!

Marjie,
The banner is beautiful. I sure hope that the church will send you some pix of them hanging, which you will of course then post on your blog.
See you in class tomorrow
I am going to ask today or tomorrow that someone take some pics for me. That's the BEST part of any process- seeing it in the place where the person intended it to be. I have pics of the sanctuary that I should post as "before" pictures.
Glad you will be in class. Let the good times roll!
