Hope you like Elle :D

Yes I love the colours and on the Judy Rothermel fabrics (Charleston IV)
they seem to be pretty accurate with the dyes they use.

I copied this :
1850-1865, Madder style double pinks and browns. An alum mordant would give you a red/pink print while the use of mixed of alum and iron mordant would produce warm browns. These are reproductions of madder style prints. Artificial alizarin (the dye component of madder) was not discovered until 1869.

Cool or what ??? Elle

Fantastic site, Elle! Thanks so much. I love their Fabric Play Station where you can compare fabrics you want to see how they "go" with each other. What a super idea for online ordering!

Ooh didn´t see that feature Nor´easter, just have to go back and drool some more.

:lol:

I have that one in my favorites but havent ordered from them YET!
Hey Miz Elle, if you want to read some interesting stuff on fabrics, google Dargate Book. Thats is some interesting stuff.

Will do Melissa, sorry did not come back so quick on this reply I was talking via Skype to my two kids, well not kids really anymore I just feel that way about them. I will go and have a look in a minute.

Thanks for that Elle :D
