Indian textiles

In Bhuj we visited the home of Mr Wazir, a textile collector, who showed us examples of his wonderful old pieces. Some were embroidered, some quilted. He also had many for sale, which was good for us and we soon amassed a large pile on the floor. So over Marsala Chai and sweets, we made our selections. Here are some to whet your appetite.
This is a section of the embroidered piece we bought. It is about 60 years old.

    I've yet to find my textile collection; all still packed up in boxes. Hopefully I will soon, as most rooms are now sorted. I always say a move is only complete when the paintings are on the walls. I expect that will be only a week or two away.
