A note from the collector:"From My Stash to YoursI’ve been collecting antique and vintage fabrics for many years. I used many of the pieces as source designs for contemporary fabric lines that I created and were produced by Clothworks Textiles and In the Beginning-Fabrics from 1996-2019. No longer working in that field, I am selling the collection, and hope you enjoy the textiles as much as I have.I’m not an expert at textile dating, but rely heavily on Eileen Jahnke Trestain’s book, Dating Fabrics: A Color Guide 1800-1960 (American Quilter’s Society, 1998).- Marsha McCloskey"
