A few days back someone ask where beautiful vintage calicos were. This popped up on my face book today if you haven't seen it here is some very beautiful fabrics. Quilting and Craft People. http://QuiltComfort.com/Get-your-vin...uet-Squairslp1 they are so beautiful.

that link didn't work for me, so i did a search for "vintage" on thier home page & this came up ...thank you for sharing this site!

the last selection to the right has many of the vintage fabrics in my stash. i buy at estate & yard sales, and am always excited to find these old prints. i don't care for the super bright prints shown on left, but the browns, blacks ..i have some grays in my collection too. i make scrap quilts, mostly, and enjoy these prints so much. have spent the last week going thru, refolding, enjoying ..have decided not to sort into color groups any more because the different colors will pick out & emphasize a color/flower/shape in piece near or next & i see possibilities i don't see when everything sorted into matchy matchy groupings.

Thank you for changing that. My phone was ringing and I posted it without checking and did not see my mistake.

no problem ..you're welcome . i am taking a quiet read day, wandering the net & the board. i had seen the thread the other day re: the older calico prints. later while sorting & refolding i thought about that thread, then i see your link ....and i had fun at that site you posted. i see many many of my fabrics. faves & not so fave ..but i have found the 'not so fave' really come to life when paired with a rich blu, brn or whatever. again ..thank you for sharing that link! i hope the member who was wishing she could find these prints sees this thread. i do wish tho, that they sold yardage too ..there's some i keep putting off using with hope that i will find more.
