Comment: I really love the fabric! MOST especially the one with all the kids on it! If you still have some, look at the boy going over the fence to get the football. He looks like he's ready to eat his own foot off. Hmmm, foot! LOL The purple is sooo garish, ahhh 70's! I think it'll look great if it's greatness is broken up and see it really working in a doll quilt for my kidling. The floral reminds me of something soothing and familiar. I am going to look in my mama's linen closet when I go visit! :O) Thank you thank you!
Response: Your very welcome, I hope you can use it in your projects. Have fun raiding you ma's closet! Thanks for the heart.

I forgot - it did not arrive safely. The P O put a sticker on it stating it had been damaged prior to reaching that branch. This in no way reflects on you! I am now think twice about taping all the edges of my envelopes and risking looking like a tape freak! :O) THank you for rating me!!
