Nancy's
Blues - mid-1800's
by Nancy Gere
These rich indigos, soft creams and
milky browns are inspired by textiles from the mid-1800s.
Indigo print designs changed only slightly during the 19th century. Earlier
designs were a little less crisp than their 1860s-70s counterparts,
due to changes in the actual printing process. Indigo and white quilts
were very popular in straightforward motifs - Wild Goose Chase, Log
Cabin - not many fancy curves, and because these blues saturated
both sides of the fabric, they were very desirable since the same
hue was found on the front and back fabric face.

Pink Chocolate – c. 1875
by Nancy Gere
Pink Chocolate? ...An odd, but delicious combination!
The origin of chocolate brown used as a predominant color in printed
fabric appeared with regularity in the nineteenth century. The color
was worn by widows who had passed out of the stage of mourning, when
they were expected to wear only black. The patterns used in these "mourning
browns" were simple calicos, and not like the more stylized
designs featured in this collection.
Later in the century brown as a color in printed fabric started moving
to the forefront of European fashion. The idea is perhaps copied
from hard-to-find Indian hand painted cottons. In the early to mid
1800's these Indian fabrics using rich colors painted on top of dark
grounds were rarely seen in Europe. However, as a result of these
beautiful imported fabrics, it is then that we began to see brown
combined with the lively colors of red and pink emerging as a trend
in Europe.
Williamsburg – Providence
Inspired by the collections of Colonial Williamsburg
The textile that inspired this fabric collection was made in England
about 1790. It was imported to America and made into bed hangings
with a matching counterpane (quilt), and held pride of place in a
New England bed chamber.
The Providence Collection is inspired by a single block-printed,
glazed chintz textile in Colonial Williamsburg's collection. Individual
elements were extracted from the overall pattern to create an assortment
of complementary fabric designs.
