You've brought back good memories of my youth. I remember going to the little grocery store near the office my mother worked in (back in the early 60's) and I loved looking at the fabric on the feed and flour sacks. I remember rubbing my hand over them to see how the fabric felt.
I started sewing when I was in the sixth grade in home-ec class. I made a lot of my dresses when I was a teenager.
How fun to think of those memories.
Thanks... and your quilts are out of this world! I made my first one last year and am now getting the itch to do another one.
take care,
Debbie

I love feedsacks! I've been lucky to collect a few, but I'm afraid to chop into them! They are getting harder and harder to find. Your collection must be amazing! I adore all the quilts you've made. Wow!

I finally took pic of the feed sack quilts. I know some are repostings, but I wanted to show the backs. I did not take pics of just feed sacks. I hope you can see enough varity in quilts without individal sacks.
back, used large pieces, and small scraps
