Today's arrivals ~ YIPPEE!!Little did Bren know when she went on vacation & took pics to post on her blog of her antique shops visits, that she did me a HUGE favor!!
I was on the ceiling when I saw this cupboard FULL OF FEEDSACKS staring me directly from the screen ... Ack! Where was she, I've got to get her to REMEMBER!, OMG! did she not know I collect these 'beauties'!?
I wrote Bren & she did remember & gave me the info ... TG for memories!! & sharing!!
Well, these are those gorgeous feedsack fabrics that were in her pics ... I am so excited & happy ... all 200 were exquisite & in excellent condition.
From the bottom of my HEART, Bren ... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! Warm hugs of gratitude, Me
Hi, Marydon,
ReplyDeleteLooks like she found quite a stash! Good for you! I know you will have fun with these. Take care, my friend. Vicki
Now---besides collecting these feedsack fabrics, what do you do with them, Marydon??? I have a Colorado friend who quilts --and she loved making quilts from the old feedsacks.
ReplyDeleteGlad Bren found them---and blogged about them. See what we learn from blogger friends???? Wow!!!! Did that 'good friend' pay for them for you too???? ha ha
Hugs,
Betsy

Wow am I ever jealous!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will go to town and get tremendous pleasure from these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. About 10 years ago I found a stash like that in Ohio...bought all of them. I have yet to use any of mine....
ReplyDeleteWhat's lucky finds. Marydon, do you make quilts from them or you collect them for special collections? I have some pieces I bought from Lancaster and it has shamlocks on it. I used some for the backing of my Irish quilt - Hugs Natima

I'm always amazed at the variety of feedsacks. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation Marydon, on finding these treasures, I know the feeling of finding something that you have been looking for.
ReplyDeleteI was reading some of your previous post, and enjoyed them so much especially the bison farm. But the post of Rick Warren was so inspiring, I can't tell you how blessed I was to read of this interview, He brought so many things into perspective for me, thank you sooo much or sharing this.
Blessings,
Sue

Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Natima's at notjustnat, I don't understand what are feedsacks, do you put food in them? it looks like you just got a pile of fabrics to me, they are lovely though.
hugs Lynda.
They are amazing, I love all the colors. I was just stopping by for a visit.
ReplyDeleteThe Raggedy Girl
Okay, now, I'm practically having a heart attack...200 feedsacks all at once!!! OMG! What a find and how wonderful of your friend to tell you about them! How totally fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteFeed sacks sure do bring back memories for me. My mother made me ( she did not sew much) a blouse for Easter from a feedsack with red flowers on it when I was about 10. Those were the days. My whole thought on this is "Use what you have" My Etsy implys that concept.
