Re: Funk and Wagnall’s—as a kid in the mid-60’s I was a big fan of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in, and of course “Look that up in your Funk and Wagnall’s” was one of their tag lines. A couple of weekends ago my friend Regina and I drove to Bellville, Ohio for the spring meeting of the Midwest Fabric Study Group. It’s just east of Mansfield. We are both thrift store enthusiasts and Mansfield has some good ones. We were browsing the book section—and lo and behold there was a whole set of vintage Funk and Wagnall’s encyclopedias ! They were beautifully bound but at my age, I’m trying to downsize, so they stayed. But I’m still thinking about Goldie Hawn and Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi 🤓

I wasn't sure about using that. I didn't know if it was too obscure today. Obviously not! Thanks, Sue.

We’ll, you do have to be of “a certain age “ to get the reference—but it’s still funny, to me at least!

I cut my binding strips on the lengthwise , using leftover backing . A lot of fewer piecing seams for the binding .
