Beautiful, thank you for posting.

Ok...dummy here - don't know how to post the link ... if you "search" feed sacks up top in the search box it will pop up - it's only from a couple of days ago.....unless someone wants to tell me how to post the link. Sorry.

Here's something else - my Aunt Mary just sent me this photo from 1945 - the dress is made from a feed sack - my grandad - her dad - made the dress pattern and my gram (her mom) made the dress. She said she still remembers it - the background color was turquoise. [ATTACH=CONFIG]445621[/ATTACH]
