Hey Carman, don't forget the blendables, we skipped them for December. Hmmm let me think of some ideas...This may sound weird, but I am always looking for browns and tans, that may be an idea? Here are some other thoughts...stripes.Sorry I am drawing a blank. Hope someone else comes up with some ideas LOL

I agree with Debby... Browns and tans are a good color choice. Also.. tiny dots? I'm sure there is an official name but I mean the solid color with itty bitty white or cream dots on it. Just for fun... something like Anything Baby, Frogs, Cats, Dogs, Horses, Ladybugs or something... Romance... Victorian... Only Roses... Earth Tones... Music...

Just some thoughts as I sit here sipping my coffee and thinking.. "Now HOW am I gonna walk 30 feet to my shop door without busting my a$$ on the ice..."

Cheryl, I think the official name I remember was Dotted Swiss? The more I think about it the more I like the browns and tan family, earthy colors.

Thanks Debby! I googled it but the images that came up weren't what I thought they oughtta be so .. I dunno!! LOL!!
Batiks are always good too! I have come to LOVE those!!!

I like all the ideas-how about some color on color ie: white on white, cream on cream, reds, blues, landscape (ie trees, leaves, water, rocks). Like the tan/brown idea too. As always fossil ferns, marbles, how about oriental?

Ohhhhhh Oriental!

Solid color fabric with tiny tiny white dots are called pin dot fabric. Dotted Swiss is a rather sheer fabric with dots on it that are like tiny french knots, the same color as the fabric.. The most popular color is white, but it comes in all colors.. Its most popular use in my day was for Easter Dresses for Girls.. In all the pretty springtime pastels..

thats it Libby!! Pin dots... duh!! THANK YOU! Used to those were always around... but last look at WM and no go.. I always liked to mix those with solids in my boys clothes when they were little.
