One thing I love about my job at the technical college is the diversity of students I get to meet and help. The students who are originally from Africa are so kind, caring and generous.
One of those students gave me a package of this fabric. It is very different from the cotton I am used to for quilting. The package contained between 4 and 6 yards. The fabric feels papery and is very shiny. I could see it would make a wonderful traditional African costume. But what would I do with it?
Yo-yo girlfriend!
(looks so different; doesn't it?)
I like the crispness the fabric gives the yo-yos. I am putting them together with bright colors of embroidery floss.
