Feedsacks

I call feedsacks the original baseball cards. The reason I say this is because in the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s people would try to buy more of a specific print or solid to finish their project...either clothing or a quilt. A consumer would purchase a brand in order to have the fabric. Some of the ones shown here are collected more for the brands than to use..I have dozens of calico feedsacks for sale. These sacks are very collectable. We do have in the shop some duplicates, both of the ones shown and calicos or conversation prints. The term feedsack is a misnomer as it covers many sack uses of these bags from grains, flour, corn, sugar, salt, animal feed and others. Prices vary. Call or email for more information
