One of the companies sold Irish Tweed and the samples came as blankets with maybe twenty different patterns on the one piece. I remember the threads being everywhere!<BR/><BR/>The little books were wonderful for anyone who liked to do patchwork.grannymarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032672459591738269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687249.post-85191994703446722392007-07-20T12:58:00.000+01:002007-07-20T12:58:00.000+01:00Sorry Nancy for confusing you.

We had these Guys over working with us for several months from our office in Greenock, Scotland. They had invitations to the function but no ladies to bring along with them. My friend and I paired up with them for the evening. It was a wonderful night of good food, wine,laughter, and fun.grannymarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032672459591738269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687249.post-66132780238290478382007-07-20T00:38:00.000+01:002007-07-20T00:38:00.000+01:00Sorry about the horrific grammar at the start of m...Sorry about the horrific grammar at the start of my last comment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687249.post-88399118026096962312007-07-20T00:33:00.000+01:002007-07-20T00:33:00.000+01:00That is a wonderful story.

Even more so because I come from a family were a family of drapers.<BR/><BR/>When you mention the cloth I'm reminded of those "books" of samples that we used to have everywhere. <BR/><BR/>They were like a book but each leaf was a pattern of what the supplier had to offer. When they became out of date they were much desired between myself and my brother and sister. Or they might be used as patches for the holes on the knees of our jeans or trousers. Pick the one that matches the closest!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687249.post-20074853905223380422007-07-19T20:27:00.000+01:002007-07-19T20:27:00.000+01:00Grannymar,I read your stories every day and love t...Grannymar,<BR/><BR/>I read your stories every day and love them.
