Re: queeniepatch.blogspot.com 
 
Thank you, Susan.  Any exhibit of Japanese needlework deserves study. 
Always makes me whisper  This blog page is short, so don't wait too long to
view.  There is already an embroidery lesson that pops up before the
quilts.  Note design, use of color, and quality of materials/workmanship. 
Also, how kimono stands have been used (elegantly) for display of these large
items. 
 
It is mentioned that kimono stands were used to air clothing after wearing. 
This is textile conservation at its best, because frequent cleaning is what
wears out clothing the most - not the actual wearing of clothes.  Please air
your lace accessories after you wear them so no cooking, smoke or perfume
odors linger.  Remember that embedded soil and cosmetics in lace threads is
very difficult to safely remove.  Please attend to "maintenance" before
returning a lace hankie, collar, scarf, etc. to storage.
