My great aunt died and I had to clean out her house and sort. She had a dresser full of feed sacks saved from her childhood. The feed sack craze had just started with quilters. I kept several of the oldest ones and had them framed for my DDs. I gave many that had in town feed store logos to the local museum . The rest I sold to a fabric collector who offered too much for me to refuse. I like the fact the museum displays and stores the feed sacks and they are not stuck in a drawer and the collector has long since died and left her collections to various groups and museums and my DDs have a nice piece of art to display that has family connection.
