Heaven equals lolling on the sofa reading textile books

There are worse ways to spend a cold and damp evening. I've just been reading through my textile book pile searching for info on the wall hanging I acquired in Glastonbury. Check out the Restoration Project page for where I am up to.

Part of my growing collection of books on textiles.

My favourite resource books are:

Sheila Payne's Embroidered Textiles and John Gillow's World Textiles which has interesting sections on techniques.

The book I anticipate using the most for this project is Indian Textiles by John Gillow and Nicholas Barnard.

Ok I admit it I spend more time drooling over the pictures than reading. Then when I ran out of images to slobber on in the books I searched Google for some more.

I am such a sparkle junkie!
