I have a Rubbermaid tote full of gingham that belonged to my mother. I took it when she passed away in 1985. This is the Dan River gingham in all colors and all sizes of checks. She used it mainly for cross stitching pictures. I remember using some of it for curtains in my sewing room when I lived in Syracuse, NE. When I left there, the curtains came down and went with me. I've used a little of it from time to time since then but just hate to think of using it all....since it can't be replaced.
