Default Have you seen fabric with a message on the selvedge?

In going through my neutrals or Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery, I wanted to use only those that are white or close to it. Usually, I like cream through light tan, but the main colors I am using do not lend themselves to that.

A piece of fabric that I've had for two or three years was interesting to me as, rather than any manufacturing information, it has a quote or message on the selvedge. The fabric itself is perfect for this quilt, white background with a small, interesting print on it that will read as neutral.

In case you can't read it, it says, "Once a winter, I have my girlfriends over for an afternoon tea - but first we trek out to the woods for a walk...SB"

I wonder who SB is? Of course, now that I'm looking at this and wondering, I wish I could find more! That's the problem with a stash - fabric that is older isn't likely around any more.
