THINGS IN THE POST - HOT PINK IKAT

Just to continue with the theme of receiving things in the old-fashioned post...check out this beauty!




All the way from Uzbekistan and wrapped in old fashioned brown paper and string this contained my first Ikat fabric purchase (bought from Ebay). It's 300 x 47 cm and hand woven silk/cotton in hot pink and white chevrons. When I first opened it I was a little disappointed as I thought it was going to be brighter pink but actually the softness has grown on me and I love it. 



and...



Right now it's living as a runner on the table with some lovely hydrangeas but I think it might be a wee bit pink to stay there too much longer. Maybe I'll make it into cushions...
