I’m scroll shopping over at Farmhouse Fabric’s lovely website this morning and what do I see?
A Liberty of London Tana Lawn print named...

POLLEN! 🤣

Humorous and chuckle worthy to me as the spring massive pollening of Atlanta area is about to occur. Eyes will water, noses will get congested, cars will turn yellow and now we can whip pollen up in the creative sewing project of our choice. 😉 I’m thinking shorty pjs... It is actually a nice print. What would you make?

That doesn't look anything like pollen to me.

Does not look like pollen to me, either.

I will always remember March pollen season in Atlanta, from the years our son lived there. Seeing was believing, because I would not ever have believed it otherwise.

Am thinking the "pollen" is the yellow scattered around the print?! Have never been to Atlanta, so unfamiliar with the yellow covering everything.

This discussion is making my nose itch.

Honestly the print looks more like "Asphalt after February Acacia Bloom Season".

Note to self - avoid Atlanta in March...

Our pollen season is later and light green, covers everything. Car washes advertise at that time!

Could be! Here's a photo I found just now of pollen (a nice one... some are less nice).

Pollen must've sounded better than 'Old Formica.' It really does remind me of old formica patterns or those old 'real' linoleum patterns with the colored chunks in them.

Well, this looks more like "Bacteria". I cannot say I like it but I am not a fan of blue either so its hard to say.

I think it would make great shorty pjs (especially for the days your allergies are knocking you back to bed)! The print looks like my deck this winter--sunflower seeds in the snow.
