With the harvest season underway, thoughts surrounding the upcoming winter months start creeping into our minds. Like the little foresters from the animal kingdom, we hunt, gather and stock pile goods and resources to carry us through those blustery days and never ending nights. Even out west, where the sun lingers just a little bit longer, farmers chuck corn stalks and bale hay to ensure enough heat and feed for their livestock as Mother Nature prepares the Earth for its ritual cleansing.
Children also play a special part in the maintaining of the farm land. For many little girls, whatever mommy does, she imitates with her little dolls and make believe Betty Crocker Bake set. For little boys, a plastic tool kit here, a mini tractor on the dirt driveway there, until the day he will always remember…..his first day behind the big wheel of Daddy’s Farmall Tractor!
For any child who grew up on a farm, the day Daddy put the tractor in park and called for his little boy to climb aboard was a day to remember. A Rites of Passage for many, the first tractor drive alone marked the golden transition from boy to man. After the first run, he climbed back down and stood just a little bit taller. He walked with a little more swagger, and smiled ear to ear….if even only on the inside.
J&O is pleased to announce “Farmall Toy Tractor Fleece Panel” as our #1 fabric of the week. With a 60” width per panel, this nostalgic and life like depiction of a farm boys journey into manhood is one that won’t soon be forgotten.
Made with a warm yet lightweight 100% poly-fleece material, this is the perfect fabric for wrapping up in during pumpkin hayrides, after a long day of work on the farm, or framed in your little boys room as a reflection of his own Rites of Passage.
And if farm life is not for you, that's okay too. Our 'Farmall Toy Tractor Fleece Panel' is a great material for any child who loves tractors, and any adult who's childhood memories paint images of clear blue skies, cute little chicks, big hay filled barns, and of course.... the big Farmall tractor.

Where would we be without Sesame Street? Probably in our graves.
My father once thanked the producers of Sesame Street for saving the lives of many children, including his own….literally. He was half serious, half joking. He spoke these words on behalf of parents nationwide who undoubtedly would have grown a few more gray hairs and raised their hands to fall upon a few more tender a rear end had it not been for the regularly scheduled, educational and highly interactive broadcasting of this wonderful children’s television program.
Weekday & Saturday mornings, children from every nationality and background across America could be found glued to the tube, singing along with their favorite Sesame Street characters in the customary call and response fashion that Grover, Oscar and now Elmo encouraged.
With the click of a button, crying infants found instant gratification in Maria’s soft ABC lullabies’. The Terrible Two’s toddlers put their home destroyer gadgets away and suddenly became the sweetest, most focused angels to roam the living room. Even moms & dads could be found learning spanish words for water, or joining their offspring in finding which of these things just didn’t belong here.
So in ode of the good-ole-days, the lives of the little ones who have absolutely no idea just how intricate their entertaining TV show really was to their survival, and to the youth of today….J&O offers a great selection of cottons and flannels donning the faces of some of the most widely recongized and favored Sesame Street characters we’ve all come to love and trust.
