I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Fall Fabrics Arriving...............
While it is the Brackman's "Lately Arrived from London" and Andover's "Hewson" that I am really waiting for, other beautiful fabrics arrived this week! "Northern Cardinal" by Holly Taylor for Moda is not what I usually order, but you will see why I did in the photos. Some of these fabrics look like "antique woodblock" prints! A perfect example of fabrics that look old and will work in reproduction quilts but are not marketed as "reproduction". The second photo shows colorful "Swiss Holiday" by Moda.....kinda bright colors BUT the prints are the Jacobean-type florals that I love!
great fabrics your right I would add them to my reproduction fabrics in my quilts as well..
ReplyDeleteLOVE that blue! I think I need some of that!
