what a treasure! Love the feedsacks! Cute story about feedsacks - bumped into someone I hadn't seen for years and we got to talking about quilting. She said a relative had passed away and the family was dividing the quilts. The close relative told my friend "we picked out all the pretty ones - you can have the rest - they were feed sack quilts. She said it was so hard not to laugh cuz she said they apparently did not know what they were giving her- but she sure did!!!! She was thrilled to get them!

Ohhhh how lucky you are. The feedsacks are gorgeous.
I'm sure you'll make something really special with them - be sure to add a label so everyone will know how wonderful they are.

Lucky you to get these. A shame you don't have a dolly to wear the little dress, a good way to preserve it. Very pretty fabrics and good memories for you.
