My mother used to make all my dresses from feed sacks back in the late 40's and early 50's. She could not afford to buy fabric but several of the farmers in the area would save them for her. At the time, I was embarassed to wear them because everyone in my small town in Minnesota thought that you were poor if you wore feedsack dresses. Now I wish I had some of them. Mom is long gone but the memories remain.
Love your quilts, they really are precious.
