Of course Holland was with us from the very beginning with the East India Company - so we share so much heritage and you still produce lovely fabric unlike us in the UK.<br /><br />I agree with you about the original batiks but I think the repros have been going long enough now - they are too vivid for me!Little Welsh Quilts and other traditionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740539581226906712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-16077098073087794412011-01-20T09:04:02.381+00:002011-01-20T09:04:02.381+00:00The Morris tapestries are so beautiful, I agree!

I collect them, but most of them are original from Malaisia or Indonesia, sarong and kain - so used for skirts. The commercial batiks I use in quilts for their clear colours where solids turn out to be rather flat. Modern designs call for these I think. <br />Another site for favorite, it's getting crowded over there ;^}<br />greetings from a sunny Amsterdam, IreneIrene Onderweegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203549705147874055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-22260340168542294912011-01-06T13:28:33.822+00:002011-01-06T13:28:33.822+00:00just found your blog through the Jen Jones site. ...just found your blog through the Jen Jones site. I too dislike batiks and it always surprises me how popular they are! However, being a longarm quilted I see lots of quilts made from an assortment of fabrics and I am learning to be a little more tolerant of others preferences, Not easy at times! As for the resurgence of interest in Welsh quilts.....wonderful! those I remember from my childhood were tatty old and scratchy.....and normally loved by the family pet!!the running chicken quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844649174896606113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-25679374289646271062011-01-05T20:40:58.002+00:002011-01-05T20:40:58.002+00:00I so enjoy your posts, Mary.

A lot of the floors are stone, the overall look is simple, with neutral colours that really show off the fabrics. Well worth a visit, and then onto Burford for a Medieval market town - and Cupcake Cottons!Jacky and Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947774051987185162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-52275106027031618902011-01-04T22:49:42.693+00:002011-01-04T22:49:42.693+00:00You have a treat in store for you Sue, but I know ...You have a treat in store for you Sue, but I know that when you live near a place you feel that you can visit any time but you don't.

But no doubt the American market will love them. I suppose we may feel the same about the old Laurie Ashley prints if they bought them back. You know I have lived in The Cotswolds for over 20 years and haven't been to Kelmscott ahme on me. It has got to be on my bucket list for this year.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919240469331985688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-74532540389977916932011-01-04T16:46:03.185+00:002011-01-04T16:46:03.185+00:00My photos from last May when we visited are amoung...My photos from last May when we visited are amoung some of my favorite.
