Still, perhaps you might be able to get there over the course of the year. Fingers crossed.

These fabrics are so rare. I can’t wait to hear your reaction to the exhibit.

Unfortunately, there IS that continent between the exhibit and where I live. :-( But it will be there NEXT year; anything could happen between now and then. Who knows? Maybe I’ll finally get to see it! Thanks for the good news, Julie.

P.S. As always when I see anything about this subject, it’s poignancy brings tears to my eyes…

I am so glad you mentioned this exhibit since I probably would not have heard about it otherwise! And it is so close to me (North Carolina)! I will definitely be checking this out next year!!!

I’ve had it for some years, and it is beautifully illustrated and written. A little hazy re liveries, but on the whole a very good book on a topic that is rarely addressed.
