Fabric Find on Dimples and Tangles!

Time spent in Blogland is many things, but one of the big

ones is a "Time Stealer!"

I love my design blogs and I am sure I spend more time than

I should, reading them. I will find myself pouring over one of 

my regulars and the next thing I know, there will be 

a link to a new one. Something always makes me follow

those links and there goes the time! 

This is how I came across Jennifer. Her blog is 

Dimples & Tangles. I was scrolling down and

there it was! Something I was familiar with from

my childhood, my Mother's drapery fabric! 

Jennifer had pillows on her sofa out of 

that oh so familiar oriental print! 

From the time I was born, until I was sixteen years old. We had

draw panels made out of this fabric. The fabric covered 

a huge picture window in our living room. My Mother loved

this fabric so much. When she and her interior designer 

replaced the draperies, she had pillows made to use on 

her outdoor furniture. This was long before the time 

of indoor/outdoor fabric. But if company was coming, 

out came the pillows! 

After my parents passed away, I found the panels hanging in the

guest bedroom closet. I took them to my drapery fabricator to

make valances for my guest bedroom at our house. He did a fabulous job

creating what I had in mind. We also did pillows for the 

bed too. 

Jennifer and I emailed about her pillows and she told

me that she had found out it was a vintage Chippendale,

bark cloth fabric by Markwood Fabrics. 

It is  available on Etsy through retro fit pattern

 for $95.00 a yard. 

Here is the link to Jennifer's blog post, where I first saw the fabric.

Stay and look around awhile, she has plenty to share! 

Now if I can just locate the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat*

fabric that was used in my nursery. It was inspired

by "The Duel" by Eugene Field. here  That is the

Gingham Dog you see over my shoulder.
