The Way it Makes me Feel

Whenever I see dog fabric it reminds me of my friends dogs and how welcomed they made me feel. Ya know the way dogs are, they slobber all over you, jump up if they are not “trained” and inevitably stick there dog nose, you know where. But the best thing about Dogs is how they stand by you and sit with you. How they keep you warm and keep you company. It’s fitting that they should have novelty fleece fabric with pictures of dogs. If I had my own dog I would surely make a no-sew fleece blanket for me and my dog. My friend had 3 German Shepherds last time I took the train to see her.

J&O Fabric of the Week: Crabby Maxine

Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up in a crabby mood? Sometimes the things that we usually enjoy are often even annoying to us in a time like that. For Maxine, that is how she insists on living everyday.

Created by illustrator John Wagner in 1986, his no holds barrred character was designed specifically for the Hallmark Shoebox Greetings card line complete with a head of curly gray hair, the body of an aged but still spunky individual, and the abrasive personality of woman who has found comfort in speaking her truths without compromise. Meet Crabby Maxine, a reflection for some, of the mothers, grandmothers, and elders of their communities, and the serum for almost any case of the blues one might be experiencing at a given moment.

It’s Raining Cats and Dogs at J&O Fabrics!

Whenever it rains really hard, my auntie says its ‘raining cats and dogs’. I grew up hearing this saying from not only my family, but the elders in my community as well. I never really understood where it came from or why it was used to describe a heavy rain to I did my research and this is what I found.
