Janice Holt Giles books are one of my favorites I have a lot of them Also I dont live but one coounty away from her old homeplace, Jessie Sturet books are great also. We do the stripping different now, We used to strip it in hands and put it across a stick now we put it in bales. Its much easier now but I was always so proud of my little hands of tobacco. I made mine the size of a silver dollar they were very neat. I have stripped as much as 30 sticks a day that was a lot for one person. I can sure tell some cold tales about stripping tobacco, I dont do much in it anymore, frankly I dont miss that job at all, much rather be making something Good talking to you Miss Wilma

Miss Wilma,
Funny that you are going to strip tobacco. I was just reading in a JANICE GILES HOLT book and that is what they are doing. Now they described the process pretty good in the book, if I lived near by I could probably help.
So nice to see and hear about all the things you are making.

Jeannie I am glad to be here also, I try to be nice so much easier than being an old sour head, I caught being nice from Mary Jane , you know she is at the top of my list.I went out to her farm it was super.She came to visit us in Oct. with the family and Katie, We love every one of them and cant waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait for them to come back.I do hope to get the pepto bismol room painted before she comes back. I am working on a lot of Chtistmas things now , have to help my husband strip some tobacco then back to the sewing machine, I have several girls wanting calicoe dresses so gotta get them done. Have a good day Miss Wilma

I have three of Miss Wilma's down pillows and they are my FAVORITES! These are a real luxury and I do not have to worry about toxic flame retardant or weird fibers. My daughter just tore the pillow case to her little 'Farm' pillow and she is beside herself- Miss Wilma, If I give you the size can you make her another (just the little white case with wide cotton lace on the edge)? It was her first pillow and it goes everywhere with her;)
Warmly, Rebekka

I loved the grey cats. Are they as mischevious as the black ones? Welcome!
