they were arranged and waited for Pascale coming back. With tea cups in hands, all women came together, surrounding the table. When Pascale came back, she was surprised, but she was more surprised when she was given by each 8 women, fabrics they wanted to give to Pascale. Some from old kimono, some from the fabric she dyed for the first time at school. Unexpected presents moved her and she even cried.
Still it was labor intensive day. Almost everyone was clear what they wanted to do till the end, they just kept working and working!
