And here you are leading me into all sorts of historical adventures! Although fabric is a subject I'm eager to learn more about. Now retaining it all is another matter! <br /><br />Safe journey.

Ladies were fined for wearing printed dresses - some had their clothes ripped off (and worse things were done to them too in some cases). This was the thesis that I found very interesting and if anyone else would like to read it with lots of links to his sources too:<br /><br />http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=history_theses<br /><br />Thank you Barbara.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759875955040163206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-91953403938192251882017-10-15T19:07:33.009-05:002017-10-15T19:07:33.009-05:00Wow!

I've always loved it, but had no idea of its history and how long it took to get here. No wonder early quilters held it in such esteem and made such amazing quilts with it.Thank you for you research and for generously sharing it with us.The Civil War Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336857233259680225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-37106150363614971872017-10-15T17:36:08.948-05:002017-10-15T17:36:08.948-05:00Why were British mills prohibited from selling cot...Why were British mills prohibited from selling cotton in Britain? Protectionism. The government and the woolen mill owners were threatened by cotton production. They figured if they outlawed printed cottons Britons wouldn't buy it or smuggle it.
