She would bleach them and let the sunrays turn them bright white. I recall her story about telling one of her future son-in-laws that she was planning to this as a honeymoon go away gift. He was not keen on the idea of having sugar sacks as pillow cases. Poor deprived boy. He did not know that a mother’s love could yield thoughtful beautiful gifts with just a couple sugar sacks and a silky white threaded needle. Vickie, thanks for your post, it summoned up this memory. -RitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755653447496319493.post-19261527117832539022014-03-25T22:21:55.803-07:002014-03-25T22:21:55.803-07:00visuals are compelling, as usual!visuals are compelling, as usual!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755653447496319493.post-76981805685056536782014-03-23T11:26:07.934-07:002014-03-23T11:26:07.934-07:00Thoughtful and creative!Thoughtful and creative!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
