Daylesewblessed, please post what you are doing with the embroidered pieces. I have collected many and am thinking about doing something with them too. Thanks

All of your fabric is lovely, I can see why you are addicted!!!!..

wow too funny and loved the response....

What a great ideal !

A friend of mine was cleaning out her aunt's house. They were doing a closet, she and her male cousin, and all of a sudden she started yelling I can't believe it, Ohmigosh!!! The male cousin thought she had found a stash of money but it was actually feed sacks from the 30's and 40's.....much better than money!!!!!

Years ago, animal feed and flour came in cotton sacks. The fabric was used to make clothing and scraps were made into quilts. My mother remembers wearing dresses and underwear made from the feed sacks. I have a few feed sacks that were came from my aun't stash after she died.

BTW, pinkberry, if you think you might become addicted, stay away from the feedsacks while you recover from the vintage machine addiction.;)

Have noy gotten into buying those yet but have lots of fabric I need to use uo first

Rofl. About feeds sacks

Feed Sacks...
 

Many years ago my sister and I were at an auction and purchased a huge box of them. We took them home and cut them in half so we each had the same prints. I used several of mine one time in a table runner. It is my favorite runner of all times. I have used it on my kitchen table for many years. It washes beautifully and the fabric has held up really well. Hmmm.....might have to get that box back out and play again.... Enjoy them!

Thanks for posting pictures of feed sacks. They were before my time and Mom was not a sewer so I had no idea they were so pretty. I'll have to add those to my "things to get" list.
