I agree with you on the fabric part, however I live near the famous Susquehanna River and near the banks were underground tunnels that lead to caves were the slaves took cover till the trains passed through taking them to NY. there was a house with a secret room and they also hid them there till they could hop a train to another destination. Our little town is rich in history.Also we have the worlds best weather forcaster, i'm sure you have heard of Punxsutawney Phil. Just a few miles from me.
I think I had better get busy and make a quilt of all the history this little town of Burnside,Pennsylvania holds.
