I don't remember printed flour sacks (maybe it was an American thing) but my Grandmother and my Mom used the white flour sacks for tea towels. And the better quality (higher thread count probably) sugar sacks were used for Sunday tea towels. I remember embroidering my share and I think I even had some in my Hope Chest!

When my oldest daughter was 6 my grandmother made a full sized bedspread/quilt out of feed sacks, for my daughter's room. I looked for the pic but of course so many years ago, can't find it. I do still have a quilt my mother-in-law made us out of wash cloths you used to get in washing power boxes. That was over 50 years ago.
