I create reproduction fabrics for quilters. My latest collection in quilt shops now is Hartfield, named for the manor house in Jane Austen's Emma. Hartfield echoes the colors and prints of early-nineteenth-century England in fabrics for quilters.

I love the Hartfield collection and am using them in my shop (exlibrispurses.com) to line
purses made from old Austen novels. So glad to
learn about frabics from that time period.
