    Default '30's repro fabrics--where to find them????

    For a long time now I have been wanting to do 'something' with 1930s fabrics!! Just love the colors and the simplicity of the designs!!

    But no matter what terms I use to Google...I can not find where any are sold

    I have checked (with different terms) on different fabric websites and still no luck..............

    Please help me find the right term to Google or...even better....where I might find some!!!!

    Thank you!!!!!!!!!

    Keepsake Quilting has 1930s as does Judie Rothermel's website

    http://www.schoolhousequilts.com/

    Try Aunt Grace fabric as one of your search terms. That's Judie's line. I think Darlene Zimmerman used to have one as well under the name Chanteclaire (don't know if that's the correct spelling).

    Good luck with your search. These fabrics are wonderful!

    Olde City Quilts in Burlington, NJ has always had a very nice selection of 30's repros. I know they are having a sale this weekend. No idea if the repros might be part of that. But they do carry nice quality fabrics. Not affiliated in any way, just a happy, infrequent customer of theirs.

    Might want to do a search of AUNT GRACE or JUDIE ROTHERMEL by Marcus Bros.

    and there were a lot of hits. Here's just one:

    I don't know if Beverly's is a local store for you up in Oregon (they are all over in CA) but if they are in your area, they have a good selection of 30's repro's too. They have an online store too but it's not as "full" as their physical stores.

    There's an eBay seller called Franks11 where you can buy a variety of 1930's prints in various size cuts for a decent price.

    http://www.ebay.com/sch/Sewing-Fabri...30%27s&_sop=15

    I haven't bought the 1930's there, but that is my go to place for muslin. They have great customer service and quick delivery. The only downfall is that they do not take PayPal. I call them and give them my card #.

    Mahalo!

    I added this shop to my list to visit next summer on our annual visit to our DD in North Haledon, NJ. The shop is only 81 miles away. Well worth the trip!
