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.)

textile brooch...used a small piece from a cuff of an indian dress, crochet, silk pic of bird, buttons, all on muslin..hand embroidery to finish. pls see profile
Amazing, unreal, special, jaw dropping, awesome, super & wonderful, are some of the words that come to mind as I explored about inside the Big Textile Factory
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
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!
Occupational photograph probably made by T. Enami.
From the album of a german (?) tradesman living and working in Yokohama around 1908.
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
Samples using beading, shirring, embroidery and weaving inspired by the colours and shapes on the underground.
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."
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.

This photo shows only half of this wide embroidered apron. It came from the estate of a woman who collected clothing and textiles from Slovakia, but I don't know where this was made
