All of the above. I thought using a single nail to hold a syrup bucket lid to the side of a stick was the neatest thing. Of course the ideal was to get the nail in the center so it would roll. I spent hours rolling it around to make designs. Was this the beginning of my quilting. We lived on a farm and had all the chores to do. I was the oldest and only girl with 4 brothers. I always helped mother with the laundry done in the #3 wash tub with the rubboard. Then hang them on the line just so. Everything had to be lined up with largest first. Always put the sheets next to the house and your unmentionables behind them so if someon drove by they couldn't see them. I truly miss those days when our parents had all the responsibilty.
