Dark Star Fabrics sells authentic Aboriginal Fabrics from M&S Textiles Australia. These are bold statement fabrics which, when combined with select blenders, can be used for dynamic quilting and sewing projects.

According to M&S Textiles Australia they are the largest manufacturer of Australian Aboriginal designs printed on good quality 100% cotton fabric. Aboriginal artworks are popular throughout the world and the only living ancient artwork. Its tradition goes back 50,000 years, revealed by carbon dating of rock and cave paintings. It is amazing that many of the artists do not have any formal education or training.

Most of the Aboriginal designs printed by M&S Textiles have a Dreamtime story to tell:

Karen Bird is a skillful artist from Utopia. Her artwork is neat and attractive. She depicted the Alura Seed in two colorways white and pink. Karen’s artwork with the wonderful depiction of Alura Seed flourishes her as an unparallel artistic talent. Everyone will enjoy her art with whatever they make including quilting.

In this artwork, Karen depicted the change of seeds from one season to another. The growth of the seed changes from winter to summer and again from summer to winter. The seed glow change is shown clearly, and the change of season is shown along with it.
