Remembering the Mill

The Mill in Dyersburg used to be a thriving business for my hometown, but it closed about 10 years ago. The Mill bought cotton from West Tennessee farmers and produced the most beautiful fabrics. Well, one local lady bought a lot of the fabric when everything went on clearance during the closeout, and she has a business making items using the nostalgic material (the fabric, by the way, is softer than any fleece you can find at the commercial stores). Thanks to a couple of mom's friends, Katie has 2 beautiful mill blankets: a pink one with white piping, and a white one with pink piping. She loves these blankets--they are soft and super warm!
