Yesterday I went to see the annual (since last year)
"Textile Art", the only textile event in Berlin
which, as far as I know, doesn´t focus mainly/only
on fashion.
No photos, though, that wasn´t allowed (silly, really,
dozens of signs everywhere making sure no one forgets it...)
It takes place in a (quite ugly) school building, but pleasantly
spacious, just 1 or 2 stalls per room.
A highlight is a beautiful exhibition of Korakdusi quilts
from Turkmenistan, from a private collection.
Bought myself a present, and am very pleased with it:
a stack of 48 indigo squares from South Africa, each
with a different pattern...
... and I attended a 2-hour-workshop on free hand
machine writing, which brought me a little closer to
feeling able to tackle it...

loved the title of this post and of course the indigo squares.
Indigo, now where I have I been reading about that lately...
Apparently it has medicinal qualities.
sounds like a fun day - love your gift.
The indigo squares, it says on the distributor´s website (www.pamoja.de) are Shwe Shwe or German Prints...
Hallo, ich bin hierher gekommen, weil ich bei Google Berichte über die Textile Art gesucht habe und habe hier im Blog nun eine ganze Weile herumgeschaut, vieles interessiert mich, die textilen Arbeiten sind wunderschön und ich habe auch viele Anregungen gefunden, vielen Dank! Ich freue mich.
Für die Stoffadresse muß ich mich auch schon mal bedanken, genau solche Drucke hatte ich schon lange gesucht.
