The reason I asked is the poster "sounded" as if it were taboo to use silk. I have made 2 silk wall hangings in the last year, as I have a friend who lives in China and beings home some fabulous yardage. I actually mixed fabrics in the second one...used silk, cotton, wool and a small bit of rayon velvet. I am not finished because I want to add silk thread embroidery and some special beads he is bringing home this time. On his way back he will stop in Japan, hope he has time to shop for me.
