This website on dyes might be helpful:<BR/>http://www.straw.com/sig/dyehist.html<BR/><BR/>Fawn Valentine's quilt book might also help you identify the time period of the fabrics. The gingham ones are my favorites too, but I like all of them. I use aprons fairly often now that I have a few of my mother's. It seems to bring her closer.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-63143235003321859292008-11-16T23:56:00.000-05:002008-11-16T23:56:00.000-05:00Hi JanetThanks for stopping over.

I think it's in the antique section at a book store and you could ask someone there if they have it. I have a few aprons.They are fun to have and one of my friend made me a beautiful black and white one.<BR/>You have a nice collection:)<BR/>DebGARAGE SALE GALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196934302729907272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-2035705952931234132008-11-16T23:44:00.000-05:002008-11-16T23:44:00.000-05:00What a fabulous collection!
