Reviews

There are many books out with beautiful color prints of quilts from various eras but until now we couldn't examine an extensive collection of fabrics. Dating Fabrics: A Color Guide 1800-1960 offers this opportunity by organizing hundreds of fabric swatches by period. For each period, Eileen Trestain gives us fascinating information about how textiles were made, dyes were used and prints created in the making of fabrics during that time period. -Anne Johnson, 2001

Terrific reference to dating cotton quilt fabrics
Oh, where do I start. Of course I sell vintage quilt fabrics on eBay (and related items) so I use this book a LOT to identify the era of the fabrics I collect and sell. (If you read my My eBay page, you will know where I got my fabrics!) I like the smaller physical size of this book - and that the hardcover opens flat, and the guts of the book are SPIRAL bound, inside. That really makes it easy to use. There are 6 time periods in the book, beginning with fabrics pre-1830 (wow, I'd like some of those pieces!) and ending with 1930-1960 - good organization. Each chapter has a written narrative describing the characteristics of fabric from the era which is very informative. This author really seems to know her stuff (I've taken classes from Barbara Brackman, Helen Kelly and others ... Oh, where do I start.

I like and use this book a lot. It is more geared toward the earlier years though, so if you need more emphasis on the 20th century, you might want to look at the next volume that focuses on fabrics from 1950-2000.

I Recommend this Book to Anyone who has an interest in Sewing, Quilting, or any Activity involving Fabrics and Pieces of Fabrics.

Dating Fabrics by Eileen Trestain
I found this to be a very useful, informative & EASY TO USE guide to early fabrics. I use it a lot in reference to quilt fabrics, tablecloths, early clothing & even feedsacks. The pictures are crisp, the descriptions concise, & it is nicely categorized in order of years. Even if you don't know the year of your fabric, it is very easy to thumb through & find your fabric by pattern.

Compact, informational, practical.
Very concise and informational. Great photos of fabric samples in full color print. Hard cover over a spiral spine makes it easy to flip through and compare fabric to photo. Portable but thorough.
