Jane Austen Fabrics

Recently my 15 year old daughter has shown an interest in historic English movies. These (to my excitement) have included movies based on Jane Austen’s novels. We have had many a night enjoying the castles, the fashion and the English gentlemen.

In keeping with this theme I stumbled across some fabrics today based on those used by Jane Austen in one of her quilts. I was delighted to discover that this quilt is being cared for and is on display in a museum in England.

Here’s a picture of it for you:

There is also some free instructions on how the quilt was made just in-case you are tempted to start a new project.

Here are some samples of the Jane Austen inspired fabrics I came across:

I really like these and can’t stop imagining myself dressed in an elegant gown drinking cups of tea and sewing all day long. As was the custom of elegant and wealthy ladies back in Jane’s time.

If you would like to see the complete range inspired by Jane Austen then visit Quiltsmith. Click here for the exact page to the range.

The fabrics are $22 per metre. Very tempting!!!

Until next time happy fabric hunting!

Warmly Lenna
