<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 522926, member: 15199&quot;]I don&#039;t remember my mother and grandmother using much burlap cloth around, but they sure had a lot of feed and flour sacks they used as dishtowels and even diapers. Some of the feed sacks were rather loose weave. Also when my grandparents came to this area in 1910 or so, their roof was made of arrow-weeds and they had loose weave cheesecloth all around the house veranda, and at night in the summer they would soak the cloth with water so the air could blow through. God I so happy someone invented A/C down here, but all through high school, we just had a swamp cooler. My son would die or run away if that was the situation now.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate your comment as it reminded me of family.</p><p><br /></p><p>They really draw my interest. I noticed that the pattern is folded as if wrapping occurred. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
