Quilts
How they're made
Printed by hand, one block at a time
Each colour in a pattern has its own carved wooden block. The printer inks it, presses it down, lines up the next impression by eye and does it again, hundreds of times a quilt.
Kantha quilts are then stitched through by hand with a running stitch, the same dashed line you see under our name. It's why no two are quite alike, and why you may find the odd loose thread.
Our story
"Hi, my name's Diana and I am a fabricoholic."
I studied textiles and majored in screen printing, then spent years haggling through markets in Maputo, Mumbai, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh with a backpack bursting at the seams. Fabric Society is the shop I always wanted: a little shop on a side street in a small Australian town, open to anyone, anywhere.
