feed sacks #5 Last one

This one is flour sacks. The white is not flour sacks. This one is very light weight and we use it in the summer

Another view with Miss Emmy, my helper. She likes to sleep under my quilts too.

I hand quilted this one with the "Big Stitch or Prarie Stitch" I took a class on this and really enjoyed. The back is muslin. I thought it showed the stitches up well.

WOW! :shock: :shock: :shock: What a feast for the eyes! I love all these feedsack quilts! I'm a huge fan of 1930s repro fabrics, so it was great seeing all of these. You do such beautiful work!

Beautiful quilts. You've made me very interested in feed sacks, and I did some reading up on it. The whole idea intrigues me, and I've decided to start looking for some myself. Luckily, my father is an antiques dealer -- he spends tons of time at auctions, estate sales, and other antique stores, just poking around, and he's offered to keep an eye out for feed sacks for me. I can't wait to see what he finds!

They are all gorgeous but my heart did a flip flop when seeing number 5, it soooo reminds me of my grandmothers quilts. Don't know what happened to them when she died and I regret that sooo much. Thanks for sharing.
