Yes I know what that is. I use to pick, first by pulling the cotton out of the cotton balls and then later we pulled the whole cotton ball. That was real hard work from sun up to sun down with maybe only Saturday afternoon off, if a bale did not have to be finished to take to the gin and we got Sunday's off. We went to chruch and after church you cleaned house, washed and ironed clothes for the next week. Also baked so we would have sweets for the week, which did not last too long. I do not miss the hard work but do miss living on a farm. and today Yes I do appreciate every quilt make and anyone else make. Hurts to see someone misuse a quilt.
