Colonial Favorites, 1830-1860  by Sara Morgan

Once again, Sara thrills us with a glimpse into her incredible collection of vintage fabrics. These authentic reproductions are just some of her favorites: note the darling picotage prints, the graceful florals, and the crisp geometric motifs that she’s chosen! The soft rose, indigo and wedgewood blues work together perfectly with the cream grounds and accents.  From a time period when fabrics were rich in their own history, this collection brings us back to the days before the Civil War, as settlers were expanding to new horizons. While the West was busy shaping the American character, the urban frontiers offered rich opportunities with rapidly advancing technologies destined to surpass what was going on in Europe. Mass production, innovative machinery, interchangeableparts, semi-automation were all huge develops that poised America as the technological and industrial leader.
