Yes indeed - the Silk Route is a fantastic shop. They are unbelievably

amazing. I hadn't even heard of most of them, when I read their
listing!
Another very satisfied customer (not frequent, but happy whenever ...)

LOVE working with silk. I have a white silk quilt planned for my niece
& her DH as an anniversary gift and I have been collecting different
fabrics for the last year. I need a few more so I'm always on the

Here you are, Mary:
www.thesilkroute.co.uk
They are solely a mail order place, so they are very experienced in all
the ins and outs of sampling etc.
