Duckling, where on Earth did you find the Norman Rockwell fabric, “The Gossips”? This was a cover of a 1948 Saturday Evening Post. Rockwell painted himself in it as the fellow with the cigar. I loved this painting as a child. It was how I first learned what gossiping was. Do any of you remember when the phone company had it as a cover for the white pages eons ago? Thanks for the fun memory!!!

We are home and had a wonderful mini vacation seeing the beauties of nature. So soothing.
I will be writing out my requests this morning after hubby and I take care of the corn on the cob we bought to freeze for the holidays.
Love all the fabrics and can’t wait to see them in person.

The pipe, not the cigar.

Fat quarters can be tricky to use in the swap as they often end up shrinking too much in the wash. Sorry to hear it happened.
Hav and SusieQOH, love your fabrics! Wonderful colors.
