Silk

When we were in China we visited many silk Museums and
workshops that either displayed embroidered garments
and goods to buy so here are a few pics of that time in China

Making silk quilts - beautiful and light and very reasonable prices

Display of the quilts

Above and below - some of the fabrics you could buy and
then go to the tailors and have something made up for yourself. 

What about those beautiful colours - I could have bought them all
but they would not fit in my luggage at the time to bring home.
Wouldn't we all die for this selection in Australia???!!!!!
