I would love to hear any stories you may have about this era, especially about the fabrics/feedsacks.
What constiutes a 30's fabric to you?.....
Any stories out there?

I heard that my first quilting teacher, Jeffrey Gutcheon, was responsible for reintroducing the 1930's fabric back in the 1970's when quilting became more recognized as the art it is. How lucky for us!

I'm from the mid 40s and a grew up in a suburban area. So, alas, no feedsacks - my mother knitted and did needlepoint. .My grandmother had a treadle that I think was really my grandfather's because we heard stories about him being a "tailor", and my grandmother knew nothing about the machine. My siblings and cousins and I used to play on it, with no thread. My aunt sewed on the treadle and did embroidery. My aunt has it now and won't give it to me!!! I'm still working on her. She hasn't opened it in years.
