Welcome to Common Threads Quilting. Our first and foremost love at Common Threads is reproduction fabrics. The American Civil War era is our prime focus, but we also carry a number of lines in 1930's and turn-of-the-century reproduction fabrics. In addition to carrying the fabrics for making reproduction quilts of these eras, we also carry kits and patterns, including a line of our own original patterns.

Bonnie Blues by Paula Barnes for Marcus Bros. - The Bonnie Blues line are all fabrics that were reproduced from actual quilts that Paula Barnes owns dating to the 19th Century. The Bonnie Blues are full of rich colors and great patterns that will look wonderful in your blocks, especially the gorgeous indigos! Historically, a variety of plants have provided indigo for use in dying fabric. The dye was obtained from processing of the plant's leaves, which were soaked in water then fermented. The precipitate from the fermented leaves was mixed with a strong base, such as lye, pressed into cakes, dried and then powdered. The powder was then mixed with other substances to produce various shades of blue and purple. See the entire line here.
Beyond Basics by Paula Barnes for Marcus Bros. - Beyond Basics, also designed by Paula Barnes for Marcus Brothers, features some great colors that work wonderfully with her previous collections for making scrappy quilts.
