I am enjoying this thread. I remember my mom sewing only when we were very small. I guess with 5 kids and working she was too busy to sew. We all got hand-me-downs. Recently however I found at a sale, a 1/2 bolt of gold 200 thread cotton fabric from Sears. I absolutely love the color, and was trying to research how old it was because only vaguely remembered the department stores selling fabric. This thread jogs my memory a bit, and I enjoy hearing everyone else's memories. I started a quilt with this gold fabric a couple of years ago and still haven't finished it. I will try to attach it. It may turn out sideways...
