I am just beginning to become interested in the reproduction look, and reading through these posts has helped me shop my stash and find what I have that will work... and what I need to be on the lookout for. So, thank you very much, Barbara!Kristin Stonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461167271130315594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-88528425516141485992015-12-07T14:44:14.471-06:002015-12-07T14:44:14.471-06:00I need some help.

I saved your posts from 2014 "Threads of Memory" and am going to make that quilt in 2016 (I'm ready now). I would like to find a collection of 5 reproduction fabrics already matched to make a pretty quilt. I only need one yard of each. I am not that good at selecting the fabrics yet. I usually try to emulate the picture I am working from. Can you give me some suggestions of reasonably priced, pre-selected fabrics (including your own)?

I watched my fabrics carefully they are best stored.<br />I bought plastic boxes for them and they really took the air !!!! Over all new fabrics bought my hiding place is beautiful! But I know there are still missing a few, not many ice cracked here !!! Thanks for everything I learned! I also sew my Grand mother's choice!<br />I am always Embruns and Petits Points( blog)<br /> You can see my two red quilts in our exhibition this summer.<br /> Thank you, thank you, thank you and see you soon on Flickr!<br /> xoxoxo<br />Evelynemamifleurhttp://mamifleur.canalblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-79733520603087683962015-11-26T10:36:38.491-06:002015-11-26T10:36:38.491-06:00Barbara - Thank you for the wonderful lessons each...Barbara - Thank you for the wonderful lessons each week. Though I have not been able to find some prints or colors to match the weekly lesson, I am so much smarter about what I actually have in my stash and hope to expand on the variety of prints over time. Seeing the tester blocks and what others had and how they used their prints was so inspiring. <br /><br />This has been such an enjoyable project and incredibly productive. Never in my wildest dreams could I have made over 100 stars without your help. :-) Now to start the assembly process. Just like the Civil War quilts, I expect to be WOWed by what others will do. Now that recent layout you shared using our stars as sashing around feathered stars is amazing and tempting - it's jaw dropping beautiful. I might have to sit back a few weeks to get more ideas from you and the rest of the star making gang. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621873176169748071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-38120904389496749962015-11-26T07:04:11.437-06:002015-11-26T07:04:11.437-06:00I'm sad to see the end of this wonderful sew a...I'm sad to see the end of this wonderful sew along.

I have loved this Time Warp Quilt Along even though I joined very late, at the end of April. Then, in mid August I had to go overseas on family business, and have just returned as the series is ending! While I was away I read up on the new topic each week and was just dying to get back to sewing. I will just keep adding my stars to the Flickr page (hope I can do that).<br /><br />I have learnt so much about textile history and reproduction fabric. Thank you so much for your generosity Barbara. I have so enjoyed this.<br /><br />Will anyone else be making stars to catch up? I hope so.Elizabeth A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07388411609814306764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-38168411910654686322015-11-25T13:15:12.063-06:002015-11-25T13:15:12.063-06:00Barb, thank you so much for your weekly lessons.

I have decided on a blue fabric from your Metropolitan Fair line to set my blocks with. It only seemed appropriate to use one of your fabrics!

But my knowledge of reproduction prints is growing and my appreciation for the art of knowing about reproduction fabrics is quite large at this point! At my bee this month, two of us had been independently following your Stars in a Time Warp series, and we realized that we had your blog in common and shared it with our bee friends. You inspired me to buy a robe print for the background of my one and only reproduction project, and I knew more about it than the LQS assistant!

I enjoyed every minute of making these little babies. You have spread your love for fabric history even further this year with so many quilters jumping into this fun project. I have many friends who are making them that had no idea about quilt or fabric history at the beginning, who are now eager to now further their education.
