I’m not able to do full show notes this time around, but I did want to link you to the web-based things I talked about in Five Cool Things:

* the video of the Spinnekrok, the fascinating tool donnac368 linked me to

* The story about natural dyes and tapestries. Here’s the upcoming show at the Met with some great tapestries.

* Quilts in Space! You seriously need to watch this video.
