If only there was somewhere like that within 25 miles of where I live. Yes, I have access to most of those things within 25 miles, but not all under one roof. Within 10 miles there is Presencia UK (Finca threads and their own BL patterns and pillows), a pretty good patchwork and quilting shop

In answer, I don't see why an honest opinion can't be written on behalf of the author. Review copies aren't 'free' - they are given to groups in return for a positive review. If a book is so poor that it merits a negative review, then the copy should be returned to the author, not kept in the

I feel I must correct the impression that there is a Lace Study Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dawn has visited the Antonio Ratti Textile Center. Perhaps Anna (from Sidney) and I could correspond privately about how to view textiles there if she has something she wants to study.
