Encouraging news from the modern dance scene here in Dallas/Fort Worth--Bruce Wood may be back. Sunday when I spied these fungi growing on a dead tree at Oak Point I was reminded of a Bruce Wood Dance Company production five years ago. Subdued colors. Swirling skirts. Intricate patterns. How would Bruce have choreographed these mushrooms? When will I see his work again???In our junior high 4-H club we learned to sew "dirndls". These were the simplest possible skirts made with a rectangle of fabric and elastic to gather the waist.
"Dirndl" is an even stranger word than "drivel".
Our 4-H efforts were much simpler than this Folkwear pattern:

I learned to sew in 4H, and cook, knit, and make bread, and supposedly I learned to make greeting cards and candles. Apparently I didn't run proper use of the comma, though.k
The things I sewed in 4-H were not fit to wear in public. Some girls won sewing contests. I did not.
