Lynlee,
It sounds lovely. I know when I made a christening gown for my daughter to go
with my husband's faith (Catholic-I'm not), it had to be primarily white, I had
very very subtle undertones of lavender in the underskirts and embroidery.
From what little I recall of Maori patterns,
Having just returned from Norwescon and finishing that masquerade, I'll be
working several new things:
1-new 14th Cen. garments for Nayeli as at almost 2 she's out-grown everything
from last year
2-rewriting my paper on the use of mi-parti in the Romance of Alexander
3-obtaining the rest of
*chuckle* I'm in luck only if one of my classes isn't scheduled against it,

What I am looking for is help with acquiring appropriate swatches of fabric and
fibers that approximate a medieval fabric, but at a more conventionally
budgetable cost.
Having even a piece that is say 2 x 3 to touch and see the weave is easier to

I use it, it allows me to help keep track of friends and 'family'. To
help with maintaining it though, I tend to ignore almost all of the
application requests and if I am amused by a test, hit skip when it asks to
pick friends to share it with.
It was great to see a couple of H-Cost faces to

This is my first CoCo as well, so the hints are nice. I'll look forward to
seeing/meeting a few more H-Cost folks in addition to the joy of
seeing my Loscon friends more than once this year.

My roommate gave me a small fabric sewing kit reputed to be an antique
Victorian one. It's a dark blue velvet with an old gold silk-type fabric
lining.
I was given two lengths of fabric I *wanted* during my recent trip to the LA

My thanks to all who've given me input. The hardest part about going into this

Thank you for the quote resource Susan.
