I have a small amount of the original 'Holly Hobby' cotton fabric in blue and in pink from the mid 70's left over from some little dresses I made for my very youngest sister. It was SO expensive I kept all the bits left over as I thought one day I would use it in a quilt! It is still waiting!
In a way I am glad I have not used it as back in those days I was not a quilter and I would have made a big mess with it! I now have much better quilting skills and I do intend to use it up, one day soon I hope. It is SO cute!
I am counting on my fingers here, I think it has got to be around 35 yrs old and I bought it from the fabric shop I worked in at the time.
