I am a bit better today, but still not walking much. Hobbling around. lol.. Lynnie are the pine needles the kind from like a white pine tree?

Susan, it will take some time for you to heal. Just take it easy.

Susan, all I know is that they were long about 12-16 inches long, and she would wrap them in raffia and make baskets. I wasn't lucky enough to get many, have two, grandma is gone 25 yrs now and i'd love to make one in remberence. can't get long ones here. wish I could

Hmmm sound like maybe Ponderosa or Southern pine needles.

Thanks nhnative and klaws. Right now while I am off my feet a bit, I have been sewing together 1 1/2" by 2 1/2" pieces to eventually make a quilt. I seen one done called a depression quilt, but others called something else. when I get to feeling a bit better, I am going to cut out the blocks for an Irish Chain.
