Virginia’s fascination and wonder both sparked and mirrored my own, in this deftly woven reminder of the critical role the drive for textiles have played in human history. The Fabric of Civilization gave me a fresh perspective on the diverse implementation of fiber, the identity and traditions conveyed, and of the unforeseen scientific achievements that were built on the shoulders of textiles. -Meadow Coldon, The Woven Road
