Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

Baldwin II the Bald, Margrave of Flanders, fortified Ypres to defend against the Normans with th early 10th century. During the Middle Ages, Ypres was a prosperous Flemish city with a population of 40,000 in 1200 AD, renowned for its linen trade with England, which was mentioned in the Canterbury Tales. Textiles from Ypres could be found in the markets of Novgorod in Kievan Rus' in the early 12th century. In 1241, a major fire ruined much of the old city. During the Norwich Crusade, led by the English bishop Henry le Despenser, Ypres was besieged in 1383, until French relief forces arrived. Ypres became the seat of the new Diocese of Ypres in 1561, and Saint Martin's Church was elevated to cathedral. In 1678, Ypres was conquered by the forces of Louis XIV of France. It remained French and Vauban constructed his typical fortifications.
Ypres occupied a strategic position during the First World War. The neutrality of Belgium, established by the First Treaty of London, brought the British Empire into the war. The Germans surrounded the city on three sides, bombarding it throughout much of the war. To counterattack, British, French, and allied forces made costly advances into the German lines on the surrounding hills. In the First Battle of Ypres (November 1914), the Allies captured the town from the Germans. The Germans´ use of poison gas for the first time in April 1915 marked the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres. They captured high ground east of the town. Mustard gas, also called Yperite from the name of this town, was also used for the first time near Ypres, in the autumn of 1917. After the war, Winston Churchill proposed to leave Ypres in ruins as a mausoleum,.
The Ypres Courthouse is located on the Grote Markt.
The eclectic courthouse, inspired by Gothic and local Renaissance styles, was built in 1924 - 1929.

This small embroidered cloth was made in Guatemala. Textiles like this are sold at many shops and markets in Mexico
Orme Mill at Waterhead in Oldham was built in 19089 by the Orme Ring Mill Ltd for cotton spinning. Initially it housed 62,000 ring spindles. It was designed by architects F. W. Dixon & Son. The Lancashire Cotton Corporation took over in the 1930s and production finished in 1960. The mill was passed on to Ferranti in 1964, and is now in multiple usage.
Fat Quarters are a quarter-yard of fabric cut wide, hence the name fat, and are popular with quilters. Standalone or placed beneath a piece of glass, I also find them great as a background for macro photography.

Our local museum has a marvellous small display which every few months features a different collection, made by someone living in the area. Last month it was staplers - yup - you heard that right! Today there was a collection of over 100 textiles, collected by a woman who has lived and worked in 43 different countries.
This woman is wearing a modern "non-typical" Mixtec huipil made on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico (possibly in the area of Pinotepa Nacional). Seen in Oaxaca City
Another example of my textiles sketchbook, the two large head sketches are my own work, inspired by the two photographs to the side. There is also examples of my stitch work as the background and some of the pieces shown.
J T and J Taylor, the largest woollen manufacturers in Batley developed an extensive business in the nineteenth cewntury with several mills. Early 20th-century prosperity led to the construction of this very large mill (five storeys, twenty-five bays) in 1912-13 It was probably electrically powered. Today it has been converted to apartments.
