When we were small we used empty milkweed pods to make Christmas ornaments. 
My father said that in World War II he gathered milkweed fluff from fields near his home.
It was used as the stuffing in life vests.
I want to try to spin milkweed fluff. I hope to some day be THAT caught up.
I am working on some projects and will have some exciting quilting news to share soon.
