1916 Fabric Sample book

4/30/2017

 
Continuing with more fabric sample books.

This is fabric sample book from Spring and Summer 1916 with fabrics offered by the National Importing and Manufacturing Co. NY, NY. There are many types of fabrics included, I have picked a few pages for photos to give a taste of what fabrics this company had available at the time.

These prints were very soft and delicate looking. Most are summer weight cottons.

The solid colored fabrics came in a nice variety, from pastels to the more jewel tones.

Notice that some of the prints are similar to the prints of the 1919 sample cards from the Pacific and Windsor companies that I posted previously.

    Welcome to my blog, Antique Quilt Studies.

    As a collector of antique quilts for over 20 years I have come to love everything about these wonderful textiles.

    Studying antique quilts has turned into an all encompassing venture, ever widening my fields of interest into other quilt related items like antique fabrics, textile history books, and fabric sample books.

    I look forward to sharing some of the quilt history I've picked up along the way as well as some of the items from my collections.

    Thanks for visiting,
    Laurette Carroll
