Hi Denese,
I don't really know about reproduction of english quilt fabrics, although I do think that one of the fabric companies has brought out a line based on Jane Austin's quilt. For futher looking up about old English Quilts I recommend http://www.quiltmuseum.org.uk/ Also the V&A Museum had a major exhibition last summer on quilts and the information is still available on their website at http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/q/quilts-p...-and-quilting/, they also had some repro fabrics, but a) I don't know if they have any left, and b) what dates they were from.

hope this helps.

I agree, Denese, it would be nice if we got something that states "Message has been sent" when contacting another TQS member.

As for your TQS subscription, if you don't want to renew, it will just expire. No need to let anyone know.

You are only able to see the episodes that your subscription covers. Like a magazine subscription, you don't automatically get all the past issues! If you want to view episode 303, it is available on the DVD available here: shop

I can't help with the reproduction quilts. But if you are interesting in "things English and fabric-related" you don't have to go very far. The Australian Michele Hill has written two beautiful books, produced a gorgeous line of fabrics and knows what she is talking about when it comes to William Morris and his designs ( http://www.michelehill.com.au/ ). I have been told that the largest collection of William Morris's designs outside of the UK is in a museum in Adelaide.

Jen Jones knows a lot about historical Welsh quilts ( http://www.jen-jones.com), and so does one of our members, Pippa Moss ( http://pippa.moss.users.btopenworld.com/ )

Good luck on your journey!

The V&A do still have reproduction fabrics online but their shipping rates to anywhere outside the UK are prohibitive. Rita.

As for the shows, if you do not want to purchase a full season DVD, you can also purchase individual shows online. These shows will then be available to you forever, as are the shows from your time as a star member. Under "MY ACCOUNT" you can see what shows you currently have access to and can purchase new shows.

It can be very easy to ignore what is in ones own back yard - 'it is local, so it can't be all that exciting, & I can see it any time anyway' school of thinking :roll:

Lorchen I just went to the web site and how lovely is she, I especialy loved the navy quilt, will have to look further into this as I would love to do a quilt.

Go for it, Jill! And look at Michele's books. They are scrumptious! She would make a wonderful guest on a TQS show.

Forgotten to say: The fabric company that Michele works with is "In the Beginning". The fabrics I have used from that company have always been excellent quality and there are some free projects on their site: http://www.inthebeginningfabrics.com/
