Pattern called "Stugrabatt" ("Cottage Flower Bed").
The designs from Jobs have an utterly timeless identity. The floral fabrics are still printed entirely by hand, just as they were when it all began in the 1930’s.
The siblings Peer, Lisbet and Gocken Jobs were born early in the 1900s. Peer became interested in textile printing and the sisters Lisbet and Gocken were interested in painting and pottery. The print workshop is situated in Västanvik in the province of Dalecarlia (the Dala horse is also originating in the province of Dalecarlia).
(I have had this textile in my home since the 1980s.)

Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

for once ... I've made something for me exclusively
... a stone pendant with a torn & braided floral print necklace
... two bracelets made with two "flaps" that were inside a pair of trousers (which could turn them into shorter trousers / pantashorts... see what I mean ?) The button holes were already made, I only sewed a bit of torn floral print & a button
my inspiration for the necklace comes from Margie of course ... you can find her tutorial (from July 14th 2009) here

the cover to a scrapbook I recently made for my textile design class. originally it was just going to be the image on the front, but I decided to add more muslin and cardboard and paper and convert it to a scrapbook. So fun to make!
experimenting with gold and silver leaf, as small additions to the recent paper jewelry=textile cookies...especially broken pottery pieces will get such 'real precious metal' highlights
among older pieces, a new series of pendants made with textile clay... cotton and hemp become pulp, mixed with glues become clay... I still love this material, enjoy experimenting --

Arrow Mill, Castleton, Rochdale was was designed by Sydney Stott for R & T Howarth. It was built very quickly. The contract to build was signed in late 1906, the first brick was laid in January 1907, the engine first ran under steam in February 1908 and the first cotton was spun in this large mill fifteen months after the first brick was laid. It was acquired by Courtaulds Ltd in 1934 and sold by them to Arrow Mill Fabrics Ltd in 1979. This was the last cotton mill to operate in the Rochdale area and did not cease production until the late 1990s. It is now listed Grade II and is in multiple occupation.

My favorite macro shot of the Indian embellished quilt seen at the Tucson Rock and Gem Show last year. The previous 3 images are also in the set for these images. Look at this one in the large or largst view for an idea of the incredible craftsmanship using beads an metallic threads.
I called this image Andromeda for the reminder of a myth:
"Andromeda (ăndrŏm`ĭdə), in Greek mythology, princess of Ethiopia, daughter of King Cepheus, king of Ethiopia, and Cassiopeia. According to most legends Cassiopeia angered Poseidon by saying that Andromeda (or possibly Cassiopeia herself) was more beautiful than the nereids. Poseidon sent a sea monster to prey upon the country; he could be appeased only by the sacrifice of the king's daughter. Andromeda in sacrifice was chained to a rock by the sea; but she was rescued by Perseus who killed the monster and later married her. Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Andromeda were all set among the stars as constellations."
