Primitive Gatherings in CA (and Lots of conversationals 1800s prints in Austrailia)

Okay, I know I promised no more--but really I had to tell you about my trip to Primitive Gatherings in southern California (Murrieta Springs) and give you the website in Australia that has lots of Judie Rothermel' s Classic Conversationals and several RJR Antique Conversationals as well as others!

 click on Fabric collections and then on 'shirtings and conversationals)--about 60 all together including









 I have lots of this one
 
They also have the anchors from Lakeside Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings.  Which brings me to my trip to the 'new' shop.  OMG, I think they have almost every 1800s conversational repro they've ever done (thank you Lisa!!!)!  I bought some of the Snowman Gatherings II (brand new) and lots of fat quarters of Lakeside Gatherings, Snowman I, Seasonal Gatherings and even one with sheep all over it that I'd never seen before!  They also had a bunch of pre-cut tumblers (2 sizes--packs of 3", 60 lights for $7.50, darks for $9.00 and other packs of just blues or packs of lights and darks together.  Sew cool!  All except the sheep one are available online:

Hi, a piece I have that has part of the selvedge on the bicycle print reads: " _______e Designs (copyright symbol) 1993 for Kona Bay Fabrics 100% Cotton. It also came in red. The tortoise and hare fabric is from Clothworks. The line was called Just For Fun and came out about the mid 90s. Fabulous conversationals in that line - duckling and goldfish, horn playing rabbit, leaping frog. Have fun with the conversational prints! Take care, Nancy

I've sent 2 emails, but don't think either of them made it. I'll try again right now.
