Thank you. I have never seen this. I have hauled lots of corn, soybeans, milo, beer, salt &etc. I drove semi for years but with my kids had to stay close to home here in Nebraska so I thought this was really cool to see the fields. It makes you appreciate the finished product as you use it. Love to sew.

I'd like to get my hands on some of that cotton to spin and dye!

A friend of mine was driving out in the country and came upon a cotton field. She parked and ran out to get a boll of cotton. She wanted to see if it was as soft as cloth I guess and she rubbed it all over her cheeks. She ended up with a rash on her face. I told her they put chemicals I'm sure to keep bugs out of it, and from destroying the crops. Bet she don't do that again.

My child hood was spent on a farm in central Ga. I picked cotton and every other chore in the fields. I enjoyed my years as a farmers daughter, still enjoy walking barefoot through fresh plowed fields, walking through fields of cotton. I live on a portion of my fathers farm but all I grow is flowers and a veggie garden and am not good at that. I relish the precious memories.

Cotton fields are all over in my area. I have several plants in my back yard. I use it for stuffing in pincushions and other small projects. It's easy to grow, pick and seed for a few plants.

How many of us were seeing beautiful fabrics in those bales?
