Born 1950. Still have several of feed sacks . On homestead u learned to do everything or u did without :canning on open fire, sewing, mending, cooking on open fire, plowed with work horses or mules, ice wagon pulled by 2 horse brought ice once month, remember them stringing poles for electricity but barn got electricity before house. Horse drawn wagon to mill to grind wheat

We lived in. Toronto, but my sister was born in 1953 and she remembers the milk being delivered by a horse-drawn cart.

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead we had a cow & every yr my Grandfather walked cow down road to a dairy farm & cow got pregnant & we had a calf to grow then butchered it by hanging it in big oak tree . We had chickens for eggs, work horses to plow with & pull either one horse or 2 hose wagon to go to nearest town . Had our own parking place at Savings & loan association bank as we parked wagon in back. Poor but very rich in faith 🐾❤️

Bev, I’m so enjoying your quilting videos! It reminds me of my grandma and the quilts she made out of sheer necessity to keep her family warm. I’ve recently tried to remember and incorporate this ideal in my life. I’m taking all my husband’s and my shirts and creating a quilt! Thank you for always inspiring us! ❤😊

So cool finding her name! Growing up ,born in 1957, we would make our shirts out of feed sacks. Mom always told dad to try to get matching ones! There were 8 of us, so alot of bickering going on about who got what sacks! God Bless 😊!

I have a full size quilt entirely made of feed sacks ! Minimal piecing in a medalion set.The solid lavender has faded a bit in the outer wide border.I got it at a huge antique event in a big field. I asked how much? He asked his wife and she said $25 ! We used it a lot and hubs wanted that one toward the end. They are so very soft and comforting 💗 They are more than just a cover imo ❤

The feed sacks were stacked up to the top of the roof and my Dad would stand down and I would climb up the pile and try to find the print that would match my little piece Mom would send and then roll the sack down to Dad to load. Sometimes he would wait for hours while I was on the hunt. Bless him he never complained.

So did my mom. She was born in 1929. Second youngest of 13. My Aunt Jane told me how my grandmother would make little dresses and make little underdrawers where it said flour or sugar. It was not uncommon to see my mom as a toddler bend over with the word Sugar stamped across her bottom. Thanks for the memory jog!

Awww....definitely touched by an Angel Mrs.V, Feed-sack fabric during the Depression, hmm...over at my auntie's, she has some sextangle-shaped(six sides?)rounds, like the ones on top of your recliner Mrs. V, is that also feed-sack fabric? If so, I'm thinking my Tía Catalina was planning a quilt, considering she was born in TX and she lived through the Depression with my grandparents and siblings.😇👍❤

I was a depression baby. My Father had a chicken ranch and we went for a load of feed every week when my Father took the eggs to the Poultry Producers and then get a load of feed. All my school clothes were made out of the printed cotton feeds sacks. It took 2 sacks for a small girls dress with a full skirt and lots of fancies. 3 sacks as I got older. To my memory I think there were about 8 to 10 different patterns. Much later in life when our school mates would get together some of the girls said that they were jealous of my beautiful clothes and when I would tell them that they were made out of chicken feed sacks they were shocked.
