    yipes…this is B I G
    well, i’ll get the hang of it if i make enough mistakes first…
    anyway…i don’t know if it matters, really, it’s light weight
    and very soft to the skin. these are what matters.

    Oh! This looks like it would be a dream to stitch on. Love the somewhat loose weave of it.

    no…it for sure is not flannel. i really don’t like
    flannel. don’t know why. must be my childhood.
    anyway…no, and i can’t think of a way to describe it.
    maybe i’ll send you a teeny snip.

    i keep going to feel it, peer at it…could it be….
    that it WAS flannel and just has been washed so many
    times that it has no fuzz left…just the woven threads???
    I have put a corner of it in an envelope. will send.

    well my immediate thought was that it was/is a flannel sheet/blanket that is worn… we used to have flannel blankets when we were little and they would get worn down and look like that… mom gave me one of my baby blankets that used to be fuzzy and is now exactly like what you have there.

    i also think is “bold” flannel and will be soft enough to sew on it as a backing. I like your frankestein!!

    well…hmmmm. it is really soft and really bald as in no
    fuzziness…which is good. i guess i just wanted it to
    be something else???? didn’t matter what, just not
    flannel.
    I like the frankenstien too. still learning.
    sometimes frankenstiens are just the thing.
    i will look forward to your thoughts about vest v.s.
    kimomo, herm. something important there, i think.
    thanks for coming here…….

    It looks very soft. I haven’t got a clue, Grace. But it must be a nice piece to work on.
    Somehow typepad ate my comment on one of your posts, or more likely I did something wrong 🙂

    what is your first? and that’s why context is great…
    cloth i guess is becoming my second language, or maybe
    is my first and i just forgot?
    I so HUGELY admire bi and multi lingual people…is just
    the very Best for so many reasons. i have gotten so
    much better at spanish here and have some french from
    long ago and had to learn some hindi for peace corps and
    just the other day, realized that the two words that
    immediately pop into mind from the hindi are the words
    for Butterfly and Lizard. don’t know how to spell them
    just pronounce.
