I bought this kit at the FOQ from Gillian Travis and spent yesterday afternoon making it. To be honest the photo does not do it justice but never mind. It was a lovely project to make and the sari silk fabrics are so beautiful and vibrant. Isn't the newspaper bag that the little kit came in just fab, it is what attracted both Janet and I and we both bought one. However Janet bought the book "Dual Journey in Stitch" and I am now sorry I didn't buy one myself so I will have to ask if I can have a sneak peek when next visiting her. The newspaper bags where made by the Barefoot College which is a non government organisation that provide services and solutions to problems in rural communities with the object of making them self sufficient and sustainable. (quote from Gillian's kit). She is also involved in the stitch project which creates beautiful textile products as well as women's work in local areas. All this information and more is in the little instruction booklet that came with the kit and I found it all really interesting. This little quilt was a real pleasure to make.
