Texas Tears and Texas Sunshine are the names of popular quilt patterns, and in this volume, now in its seventh printing, sixteen pioneer women describe how they pieced together a life for their families on the harsh frontier. Their first-person narratives, selected and edited by Jo Ella Powell Exley, provide a gripping, highly personal history of the state from Stephen F. Austin's original settlement through the taming of its last frontier in the west. The stories in Texas Tears and Texas Sunshine cover nearly a century, from the log cabin days of Anglo colonization and the Old Three Hundred to the settlement of the South Plains in the early twentieth century. Through the years, Indian raids, frontier-style "society balls," the Runaway Scrape, plantation life, yellow fever, trail drives, and the bloody Council House fight in San Antonio provided some of the blocks for this quilt. The rugged sunshine of daily life and the tears of frontier hardship combine in fascinating, realistic patterns. " . . . a fascinating collection of some of the Texas women's experiences. . . . Texas Tears and Texas Sunshine, a realistic look at the women of the frontier, is a book that also instills lessons of pride and courage for today."-Southern Living JO ELLA POWELL EXLEY is herself a fifth-generation descendant of Texas pioneers. She is a longtime schoolteacher in the Houston area.Binding Type: Paperback

Comfy
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Love it, has Velcro so doesn’t shift and when I took it out of vacuum bag thought it wouldn’t be good but after 24 hours puffed up and feels like soft memory foam. Perfect for a chair I have with a lower back. A big thumbs up
January 25, 2025: I change this to a 4 star, after using there are white silk like strings coming off the material onto my hair. Not sure why!!!!!!!!

Wish The Adhesive Pad Worked With Leather
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
The pillow is comfortable but the adhesive pad on it needed to be more sticky for leather.
I still give five stars because they reached out and offered to help with a full refund, and asked for pictures to help identify the problem.

Made a great pillow better.
Had an awesome pillow but if I didn't fluff it before going to sleep my neck would hurt the next morning. Ordered this and put about 70% into a cardboard box to expand then shoved it into my pillow. Its been great 👍 put the rest in another pillow. Had no scent. My pillows are king sized.

Great for refreshing old memory foam pillows
Our memory foam pillows are 2 years old and need a little refreshing. We purchased this and was able to refresh both pillows to firmer than new condition.
