The Search Box

Dachshunds seem to own more possessions than other dogs,

so they spend time searching for them. My dog Dot likes to get her stuff out about 3 a.m.

SEARCHING?
Over in the left hand column you will notice the SEARCH box. This allows you to search in this blog for a particular topic or person.

For example, if you type in indigo and click on search a box will appear at the top of the page with links to all my previous posts on the topic. You can click on each one to read more about indigo.

Indigo was one of the most durable of dyes for 19th-century quilters

It became cheaper and more available after 1890 or so

Arnold Savage sent me these photos of some turn-of-the-last century prints with a label.

People paid extra for indigo prints because it didn't fade or wash away.

I recently found these indigo swatches on sales sheets in an antique store

Another way to search for a topic is to use the Labels. Many of the posts are labeled with the topic or a person's name. See the words indigo and antique fabric and Arnold Savage at the bottom. Clicking on any one of those will show you all the posts with that label.
