I suppose you will have a crop of grandchildren soon to add to your big family. So glad you enjoy your new home and you had a lovely holiday.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-3249298316139076372021-05-26T14:20:13.052+10:002021-05-26T14:20:13.052+10:00Thank you Diane, we are very grateful for each one...Thank you Diane, we are very grateful for each one.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-78805537530442415952021-05-26T14:06:51.593+10:002021-05-26T14:06:51.593+10:00Glad to hear from you again with a family update a...Glad to hear from you again with a family update and what an amazing family you have.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-61122266211797469652021-05-21T20:54:55.680+10:002021-05-21T20:54:55.680+10:00Hello Mary,

I personally have a preference for purchasing certified organic cotton for both sewing and household linen, however the range of organic cotton is much smaller. Some of my sewing supplies and purchased clothing (mostly underwear) are made using organic bamboo fibres which appear to be better environmentally. I would rather be wearing and creating with natural fibres than synthetic products.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-81542920238432903882021-05-21T20:03:15.563+10:002021-05-21T20:03:15.563+10:00As a self-taught quilter, of 8 years, living in a ...As a self-taught quilter, of 8 years, living in a country in which<br />quilt making/ handcrafts are not popular.<br /> I deeply regret taking up quilt making due to all the negative<br /> things I've read about the cotton industry. When I came across an article about how dangerous handmade quilts were for babies and toddlers it was the final straw. There is only one online quilt<br />shop in my country and charity shops are not good for sourcing <br />fabrics. Two years ago I bought fabric from a shop in the USA which<br />included a charm pack when I read that the fabric was a product<br />of one country flown 4,000 miles to be packaged then flown<br />5,000 miles to the USA another 5,000 miles to my country.<br /> All the good was taken away from quilt making<br />Mary C.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-48498949236741599452021-05-21T06:55:40.026+10:002021-05-21T06:55:40.026+10:00Thanks Barb.

It's nice to catch up a little. The time frame shared is over two years and they were good years - not as hectic as 2018 was with emptying my in-law's home, selling it and our own, purchasing another and moving.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-38802287123128022572021-05-20T16:29:20.984+10:002021-05-20T16:29:20.984+10:00Thank you for this post and the catch up.

What a busy year you have had with the move and weddings and special birthday celebration. Good to hear all is well.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.com
