So I got two boxes in today's mail, both from Katherine.
One box held a whole bunch of fabric and book goodies, and the other held a truly huge length of beautiful teal-blue velveteen or velour.

I mean, I get that it's a win-win; KK gets stuff out of her hair and I get cool stuff with which I can make more cool stuff, but I am blown clear out of the water by her generosity. This is the third shipment she's sent me.
/me meanders off to plan pretties. ;)
Very generous indeed! KK is a very gracious lady. Enjoy!
Very lovely! Most gracious of KK!
Fabulous!. DR I foresee a teal blue gown in your future. Enjoy.
Katherine is one special lady. And how gorgeous is that fabric - and everything else of course.
What a wonderful treasure trove to receive! Wish my mailman brought things like that insteaed of bills and junk mail. KK is incredibly generous and I hope you enjoy all ot it. Cannot wait to see what you do with that gorgeous teal material. A gown made of that material would look really beautiful on Richenda, don't you think?

It would indeed look well on Richenda, as her coloring is described.
The teal fabric also, methinks, would look fabulous on the Pod-Child, who looks a great deal like me in the facial features but got her hair and eye colors from not-me elements of her heritage. She has dark-blonde/light-brown hair and green-hazel eyes.
I suspect I'm going to end up making something for her out of it, but there's so much of that fabric (it's about 60"/150 cm wide and it must be at least 6 yd/5.5 m or more) that I may be able to do something for her
and something for me.
The only problem I can foresee is that we live in Florida, so whatever it becomes will likely be for the cooler weather; even if it's cotton velveteen, it's too heavy for a Trimarian summer. (That said, in non-plague times, summer is the "dead" time of year for SCA events in Trimaris, precisely for the reason that it is too darn hot to camp!)
