My boss, Lyndon, goes to Ghana every year. While he is there he tries to bring me back fabric. This year he had a little guidance since he figured out how to send pictures of the fabric stalls so that I would have a little idea of what I wanted. Here is what he brought back for me. The pink fabric I am going to use on mom's mini wall hanging. She loves pink and wanted flowers so I thought it would be terrific.I don't know what I will use the other fabric for. He did bring me back some Kente cloth which is terrific and totally unexpected. It's very much in demand so I was thrilled with that. We had a nice conversation going down memory lane with the one pattern which reminds us of the Dashiki's (sp?) of the 70s. I even had a tunic top that I wore with almost an exact match to it. Of course being I didn't call it that since being white and raised in a rural community I didn't even know what a Dashiki was/is. I just thought it was a great pattern and all the kids in the 70s wore clothes like that. :) Lyndon said that the Dashiki's are making a come back. I guess it is to be expected since I've also seen bell bottom pants legs making a limited comeback. LOL.
Enough of my pratter. Here is your peek into my fabric from Ghana.
