There are several themes I’ve run here on the Daily Swatch that deserve a second run, but I’ve only come across one or two additional feature-worthy designs, not enough to fill an entire week.

Gingham, fruit, and ladybugs (and mushrooms!) from the collection of vasiliisa (blog) on Flickr.

You are welcome to add your own examples of the theme to the True Up and/or Vintage Fabric Flickr Pools. Mushrooms seem to me a strange motif to become as popular as it did in the 60s-70s. Veiled drug reference, [...]
