I have a wallhanging made from one of their design lines which was made in 1979. It is a bit faded but still on the wall behind the couch. It was good fabric.

Kessler (especially Joan) was one of the principle designers for the company.

If it feels like one of our quilting quality fabrics then it was probably printed in Japan because it has more colors in it than the US companies were able to print.

Thanks. Both fabrics feel great.
