Just a couple of textile news bulletins: Fans of batiks, ikats and a general variety of Vietnamese and Tai cloth will want to pick up (or download) the new summer issue of Hali. Included is Mattiebelle Gittenger's extensive, beautifully-illustrated review of Art of Southeast Asian Textiles by Linda McIntosh.

Closer to home, Louisiana-based designer, textile connoisseur, and world traveler, Rebecca Vizard, will be in Atlanta for a trunk show of her antique pillows at Foxglove July 10-11.
