I did a line called Delaines from my book. Alas, my current printer, Newcastle Fabrics, has another designer working on a P Blue line.<br /> <br />RE: turn of the 20th century samples. I do think there is good documentation of these prints...but a well preserved sample book is always a good source for designs.

I learn something new each time I come here. I have a question for you, but I do not have a blog. I will leave my email if you get a chance to read this. My question is: I have been collecting quite a few blocks and scraps from the 1880&#39;s to the beginning of the 1900&#39;s from ebay and antique malls. After reading your info, I have found that many fabrics that were made back then continued to be printed up to and after the new century. Most of my pieces are standard prints &amp; indigos. Should a person keep a swatch book on these fabrics, or are they pretty well documented for the future???

I maintain a site with vintage sewing patterns. I happened upon your site and then your blog. I used to live in Omaha, and have yet to be back to see the quilt museum in Lincoln. Thanks for the &quot;review&quot; .Sounds like it is worth the trip.

I envy your ability to do what you love. If I could, I would love to trade places with you. A very long time ago I did research in England on fabrics and prints available to the average sewer on the street. I miss those days. Keep up the good work, and all the movies you&#39;ve worked on, I realize I have not been disappointed in the period clothes. Thanks for sharing the authenticity.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09914731491834997587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983898970974913751.post-40496687009399684992012-01-12T19:40:04.300-07:002012-01-12T19:40:04.300-07:00Happy birthday, Margo.

We share a birthday and I was in your store on Saturday, stocking up as usual; now where do I put it all I ask myself? Loren was a very gracious host...what a gem. I&#39;m sorry I missed you and sounds like you had a great trip. I started cutting up the new Dear Jane packet that I purchased. They are for the Eastern Star that I am hand piecing. It will be lovely. See you this summer I am sure.<br />RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983898970974913751.post-72104229196406438732012-01-07T03:39:25.405-07:002012-01-07T03:39:25.405-07:00Happy Birthday Margo!

Wish they&#39;d allowed us more time. Thanks for this article about the purples, during that same trip to England we spent two and half days in the London Archives looking at the fabrics in the Foundling Hospital&#39;s Billet Books and after the blue line checks, purple and white flowered were the most common so this information is just what we needed.Hazel Dickfossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983898970974913751.post-57580602974375969122011-11-27T18:03:21.517-07:002011-11-27T18:03:21.517-07:00Hi Margo, I can&#39;t wait to see more Dargates...I love them and use them often. Your reproductions of them fill me with inspiration for *more* quilts so thank you for making them available. Congratulations on your position and it&#39;s super to hear of your plans for the new year.<br />cheers, MargaretQuilt Stationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01220621182202462817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983898970974913751.post-31963066945873588162011-11-27T17:17:32.197-07:002011-11-27T17:17:32.197-07:00One of my favorite professors during my college adventure (many moons ago) was my textiles teacher. Her name was Joan Laughlin from UNL. She made textiles come to life for me. Your gift of experience will teach things that a younger teacher has not encountered &amp; you know the importance of what you are teaching. Good Luck!! It makes this old teacher reconsider whether I should be doing the same thing!! Warren Buffet &amp; Tom Osborne have also taught classes at UNL lately. You will be in a fabulous company!!
