Quilt items made with US connections

This was started on one of my other forum...its very interesting - folks have been contacting company
web sites to have them explain their 'Made in the USA' connection. Here are a few...

Thread

YLI Corp
YLI's 100% long staple cotton products are purchased from Egypt, dyed in North Carolina, Georgia or Japan and then finished, wound and packaged in South Carolina. Hand Quilting thread has an additional step of starch glazing in Massachusetts. Today YLI is one of the last companies producing our consumer cotton threads in the U.S.

American Grown Spun Milled (a division of NearSea Naturals)
Quite simply, fabrics that are created in America from seed to shelf are better for both the environment and the economy.
