The woad plants are in full bloom. The masses of flowers are as bright as sunlight. To me they smell like honey.

Woad is bold in every stage. The large seeds are colorful, with hints of purple and green.

The month of May is filled with promise and beauty. The lilac bushes bloomed early, perfuming the garden. Two grand daughters are expected this month. It seemed right to make their welcoming quilts with fabrics that reflect the purples, whites, cream and pinks of the lovely lilacs.

Hi. Thanks for visiting!

This is my very first time writing a blog post. Please bear with me as I overcome shyness and learn to use at least some of these editing tools.

I hope to share some of the beautiful, sometimes perplexing and always interesting aspects of my adventures with natural dyes, fibers, textiles and life. I'd also like to share some of  the inspiration I gather from the backyard garden.

I'd love to hear from you.

Laura
