I cut it up and I feel groovy!

I cut up my vintage 1970s tablecloth

and now I have a square yard of daisy goodness

which I cut into smaller pieces

which I'm sharing with some of you,

including Gill from the UK

whose comment was picked by Mr. Random Number Teenager.

I folded up the border for another use, saving enough of the print so

that rickrack trim can be used elsewhere, but not by me.

I'm giving it to Joyce over here,

 who makes bags out of thrifted and vintage finds

 and has singlehandedly raised  more than $25,000 for world food programs.

If you're interested, you can read the newspaper story I wrote about her last summer.

And in the spirit of the 1970s, doesn't that folded trim look

just like the fringed ponchos we wore then?

Groovy!
