I am taking a reticella class with Suzanne Gude of Australia at the IOLI convention. One of the materials required for the class is a 20" x 20" piece of calico. In the US, calico is a printed fabric with little flowers all over it that the pioneer ladies wore when they traveled west in wagon trains. However, I think that this would not be very useful in a reticella class. I am wondering if calico is a plain white cotton cloth, or perhaps a solid colored cloth in Australia or England. The size of the calico is exactly the size of the special linen that we are working on, so I wonder if it is supposed to be a contrasting background or something. I have never done this kind of work before. Devon
