I pretty much remember all that was said here..I loved the wringer machine..the clothes going into the rinse water and all that went with it..guess I liked playing in the water.my grandma..use to go to any place that was closing out and buy their ribbons they had by the yard..it took her years ..but she finally had two bushel basket of ribbon which she made into two twin size quilts..those tops stuck in my mind forever..they were what started me quilting..I just started sewing pieces together..and as we all know it grows from there..most people I know started sewing ..to make their kids and themself clothes..as the kids got bigger and wanted store bought..the quilting took over.
