This was actually score X3 of my last GW purchases. I grabbed this fabric as I was sailing up to the register to pay for my two vintage sewing machines. Just got around to measuring it this morning. Whooo hoooo!, 8 yards of very nice quilting fabric for $5.99. Cost was $.75 a yard.

Can anyone give me an idea as to the year it was made or the name of it?

Could it be from the pet series back in the late 90's? Sorry I don't know for sure but I bet someone will come along soon who does. You sure have enough there for a large quilt back. Good for you!!

Back in 1998 I refurbished a motor home from top to bottom in Debbie Mumm fabrics. Curtains, seat cushions, linens... everything I could put fabric to. I loved the angel prints way back when ;)

I believe the line it is from is Mumms the Word-that's what's on the selvedge. I did a quick google search, and there are several companion fabrics listed in etsy and ebay. I "think" it's a folk art style Christmas line. At least that's what I was inferring from the other fabrics that I saw. I don't know the year, sorry!

I knew it had to be rather old. It seems as if the fabrics I find at Goodwill are from older lines. It's great fabric and I will be putting it to good use. Sort of serendipity is it not? I found it a couple of days ago and you pulled it out today from your stash. :wink:
