Cotton the Fabric of Our Lives

The title of this blog post is taken from a 2012 TV commercial titled "Cotton the Fabric of Our Lives." This analogy in many ways describes what connects us rather than what makes us different.
 

Authentic Mississippi Delta Cotton

Can you imagine how excited I was upon salvaging this cotton stalk from a grade school teacher who taught a lesson on Cotton during Black History Month. Many of the children had never seen real cotton before. They really loved the touch, feel, and smell of it. This plant is straight from the Mississippi Delta.

Monroe is a fan too.

If you are wearing something made from Cotton check this out!

Known as "King Cotton" it is the most common fiber used by quilters.

It would also make for a beautiful flower arrangement with other natural plants too.

Here is a picture of what our roadsides look like.

Cotton truly is the Fabric of Our Lives.
