Thank you for the great poem. My mother saved them from flour and feed (we had a cow and chickens when I was young) and they served as my stash for my sewing projects.

Trupeach, my mother used to crochet rugs from the palstic sacks that come from grocery and department stores, etc. Those things wore almost like iron! To clean'em, we'd toss them in the washer and then let them drip the rest of the way dry on the clothesline. I wish I knew what became of that huge crochet hook she used; I would try making some of those rugs myself.

Thanks for sharing...I can remember several things Mom made for me when she had pretty flour sacks. I can also remember some of the darker colored ones being made into dish towels, and those were used to dry the 'cooking dishes'..i.e. the cast-iron fry pans, etc....Didn't want left-over grease on the white ones!
