Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!

I went to bed early on Friday and took my note book and pen.. Stupid woman that I am fell asleep with the lid off and black ink permanently stained my lovely cotton bedlinen. How I muttered... And some. Even more muttering after I'd washed them.. What a mess!!
So with India flint in mind I patched over the black ink.. The duvet was too big to maneuver on the machine so hand sewing it had to be..
I might even try dyeing them at a later date, with the help of my daughter and one of her amazing books.
 
Two hours work and I love my patched duvet.. I love the rough edges and my uneven sewing.. Best of all I love the way it's crinkled.. More patching on the way I think..

Hand printed. Slow cloth. Stag Beetles..

Still feeling horrid....Bored.... Concentration non existant... Nothing new there I hear you say.
This is all I could manage yesterday, thinking maybe I need to get the printing a little clearer...?  On the other hand I like it's random qualities, less production line, more hand made, definitely slow cloth....Slow motion cloth.
