As some of you may know I have been somewhat housebound for the last couple of months. I was determined to read 'The Primary Structures of Fabrics' by Irene Emery, published in 1965. I bought it at a garage sale several years ago.
My goodness, I am finding it heavy going and academic. Nevertheless, I am plowing on, trying to absorb a page or two (or half a page) a day.
I adore Hyacinths too - you're right, that smell is so divine it makes you feel happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers, remind me so much of spring. Lovely..
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and can only wish you luck with the book it looks like it could be really heavy going.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting through that book. Gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteCheers :-)

I'd love to see the information in that book but updated, there are so many new fabrics out in the last 50 years.
ReplyDeleteThe hyacinths look wonderful.
Simply love hyacinths! That book though? Much as I love fabric, I don't know if I could get through those pages. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an really interesting book, its probably hard to find a modern book on that level.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, beautiful hyacinths. The book looks interesting, I hope you persevere.
