This may sound ridiculous but I bought and read this book a couple of years ago and have been surprised how often I have cited the book since then. Just today, a fabric rep came into show me what's new from them. Now this manufacturer has always dealt with many natural fibers like cottons, silks, wools to name a few but my heart leapt when I actually saw a polished cotton. I drooled, the thought of once again being able to show and sell beautiful glazed cotton chintz, came instantly to my mind, The rep said that yes, it appears that glazed cottons might be the next trend to return to the showrooms. Linen is beautiful, I have always used plenty of them but glazed cottons hold such special memories of English and French Country floral prints. Count me in, I will be showing them again. Hopefully soon! Meanwhile enjoy the book above, fascinating history, how a simple little cotton seed has changed history.
