A visual tribute to the elegant world of heirloom household fabrics, from the white linen cloth of ancient Egypt to the rainbow-hued coverlets of today. This lively text introduces heirloom household fabrics, their use, manufacture, embellishments, and care, as well as the infinite variety of fibers and materials used. The author explains how they serve as both unusually revealing testaments of the history of daily life and quintessential examples of the weaver’s craft, often so magnificently decorated that they rival works of art. The text is supplemented by a rich array of paintings, archival photographs, vintage advertisements, and original commissioned photography from collections, private homes, and workshops of the leading contemporary manufacturers. A comprehensive glossary of technical terms, bibliography, and index complete the book.

Ithamar knows only the harsh life of a slave, imposed upon him by his Egyptian overlords. Everything changes, however, when the uncle he has never met--Moses--returns to Egypt. The question of whether Yahweh has heard their cries for help is about to be answered, as a proud young pharaoh dares to defy the God of Israel--and Ithamar unexpectedly finds himself at the heart of both a new nation and the purposes of a powerful God. Again and again, Yahweh's plans weave together the lives of the unlikely: not only a slave and the uncle raised as an Egyptian prince, but also a destitute Israelite widow and a young Moabitess, an overlooked shepherd boy and a woman with intelligence, beauty--and a fool for a husband. And at the centre of their national life is a tent like no other, where the God who speaks and acts dwells among them...Using Old Testament stories and imagined scenes, The Tent of Fine Linen follows the people of Israel from the Exodus through to the reign of King David, through the eyes of lesser Biblical characters. This is the second instalment of The Line of Shem trilogy, which aims to build up an overview of the main characters and themes of the Old Testament, and enrich both new and established readers of the Bible.'In The Tent of Fine Linen, Corinne Brixton has once again capitalised impressively on the biblical stories' powerful appeal. Using the ingenious narrative device of re-telling the biblical story from Moses to David through the eyes of 'minor' characters (Ithamar, Naomi and Abigail), she has combined careful research with literary imagination and verve. I was struck by her ability to "join the dots" of the biblical narrative intelligently, and I enjoyed her characterisation, and her use of conversation and point of view, to bring events to life. There is real insight in her understanding of how Israel nurtured its memory of its origins and identity through families. The style is nicely tinged with a certain biblical "otherness". Above all, this is an invitation into a closer engagement with Scripture. There is much to enjoy and learn from here!'Prof. Gordon McConville, Professor of Old Testament Theology, University of Gloucestershire;author of "Exploring the Old Testament" and "Deuteronomy" (Apollos Old Testament Commentary)

Excerpt from Purple and Fine Linen: A Novel Sept. 21. - I wonder why mamma always crowds Pineside with people the first week in October. I think that she does so partly because we are pretty sure to have divine days at that period, and partly because if ever people are obtainable as country-visitors it is just then, - at least the sort which mamma likes to have about her. Now that October is on the verge of appearing again, it seems very natural that certain preparations should be made among the "many-corridored complexities" of Pineside; preparations which I have observed speechlessly. For that matter, I usually observe all the features of mamma's domestic management with silence enough to quite charm a sphynx. It is very possible that if I should discover combustible indications among halls and pantries, some morning, of an intent on mamma's part to burn the house down, my objections to such a procedure would merely take the placid form of rushing for personal valuables.
