This has really been a treat looking at your beautiful quilts.
Now I'm thinking I'll have to look for feed sack fabric at some of our antique stores. We've got a few and I'll have to check it out.
It's always fun to add to my stash anyway.
Have a great evening!

Your quilts are beautiful. And how lucky are you to have these sack fabrics! I have memories of a dress my Mom made for me when I started grade school. It was red cherries on white fabric. Still remember it quite well. Thanks for helping me to think of it again.

I love feed sacks and have purchased a few scraps on ebay, they are expensive. It is wonderful you have so many and the quilts your make are fabulous :-) . Thank you so much for sharing, I will bookmark this so I can come back and look at them again.

wow, scouring fabric sites, I would come across the 30's repros and such, and think, "well, interesting, but for somebody else to sew with."
Not anymore, after seeing the gorgeous quilts and table runners, etc. that you have created!
If I could put these fabrics together this well, and get that fresh, vibrant look, I would definitely make one for our bed. thanks for airing, um sharing...makes me think of clothes sunning on the line, in the fresh breeze :D
P.S. your grbaby is adorable! :D
