How much did you actually make from your sale?

my grandmother used to pluck her geese several times during the spring and summer months. she saved the down from the under wings separate from the the breast areas that had feathers come of with the down. She taught my mother to sew the feathers that were mixed with down in a towel. You just cut the holes from the towels and make whatever size pillow you get from the towels. the loops on the towels go on the inside she said, and catch the quills on the feathers to keep them from getting out of the pillow.

My favorite goose down garment is a vest.  It's perfect for when it is cold outside but sleeves would get wet or dirty.  It's also perfect for those days when a full coat is too warm and a sweatshirt isn't warm enough.
