I'm away from home until Tuesday or Wednesday. When I get home, I'll check the margins that I cut off and let you know what it says. I'm fairly sure it came from Joanns, but I've had it for years. Google is magic, though. A friend of mine found some panel fabric that a quilt shop owner told us was about 6 years old. She was displaying a great quilt but no longer had the fabric. That's really not fair. She was annoyed when I suggested to my friend that she see if she could find it online.

Edited to add: Okay, Google really is magic! I just did a search and discovered that this is an out-of-print fabric designed by Linda Jane Smith/Applejack Art Partners for Robert Kaufman. It is called Whiskers and Tales. So I Googled that specifically. Although in the short time I spent looking, I couldn't find that particular fabric available for sale anywhere, I did find another similar one, also by Robert Kaufman. Check it out. Here are a couple of places where I found it.

Great finished projects...the dresses are darling. I just finished a mini iron/ironing pad with our Wednesday sewing group and brought my mini iron to California with me for the month I am here babysitting. Love your fabrics.
