...Patricia, I do have that.glad you liked this one.<br /><br />Hels- I love piqué, I had several things of that in the same era as did my mom. We reminisced about them today, and really that is what it's about, I think.

Now I can compare myself to royalty :)<br /><br />Even more interesting is the historical link. I had assumed cotton piqué was a very modern (of the 1950s and 60s) invention. Marcella weaving was actually developed in the late 18th century as a mechanised technique!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-23941666196724175422011-06-11T19:15:44.275-04:002011-06-11T19:15:44.275-04:00love the correlation and pique!love the correlation and pique!pve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.com
