The Indian bedspreads were taken to the cleaners, a little grubby and I didn't fancy the idea of washing and ironing the pair of them (290 x 290cm). They came back sparkling white and have been sitting around for a week.
Yesterday was making the curtains day. Fortunately I have two large workshop tables which made the task easier.

skill of the makers, not only is the design pattern perfect, it must
have taken a great deal of time to complete each bedspread

the curtains were hung in the afternoon
creating a cool feeling in the lounge this morning
when outside it very bright and very hot!
this afternoon perfect for another indigo vat
the leftover joined hems
three dips to go for a rich indigo blue
