I remember going to the store with my Grandmother to buy chicken feed & getting to pick a feedsack fabricpattern I liked. So many of my clothes were made from feed sacksand floursacks in the 1940's & 1950's. Wewill be listing hundreds of different sizes & patterns ofFEEDSACKSin the next few months. I have always loved feed sacks since getting a box full from my Grandmother Rogers shortly after I got married. My Grandmother had made a lot of my clothes growing up. She left me all of her scraps, but my most prized possession was the box of feedsacks she gaveme in the late 1950's. There weresingles plus 4 & 5 feedsacks of the same print. They were all washed, ironed,& folded with no spots or holes; except for the stitching holes. She told me her sister, my Great Aunt Nina (who did not sew &used the feed on their farm in TEXAS) hadsent thefeedsacks toher, and my Grandmother passed them on to me.

My husband & I are donating part of each feedsack patternwe have ever ownedto preserve thehistory associated with thethousands ofwonderful American feedsacks produced from the early 1920's to theearly 1960's. I am cutting upmost of my feedsacks to document as many as possible for the CENTER for AMERICAN HISTORY in Austin on the UNIVERSITYof TEXAS Campus. They are scanning a lot of their donated textile items into the internet for research purposes. They are one of five CENTERS doing this in the US. I love the history of designs printed on feedsacks,truly AN AMERICAN story. The firstartistic designs on feedsacks came out about 1924 when my mother, Willa Rogers, was born. Printed cloth forfood itemsalesis still being used todayin some countries, such as Mexico, for foodstuffs.
