From 1800-1950 our mothers used cloth flour & feed bags for every conceivable domestic purpose. They unpicked the seams, bleached out text and patched holes. Then by hand or machine they sewed the bags into tea towels, diapers, curtains, undergarments, pillow slips, clothing, sheets, and quilts. In their leisure they crocheted and knitted lace, embroidered, and tatted fancy work to decorate their sewing. This quilt is part of a series of 40 quilts made from flour and feed bags, antique lace, embroidery etc. that was collected over a 5 year period. Includes text on quilt back, as written above in first paragraph, and text on included card which is signed and dated by the artist. 2007 Aprox. size is 40"x40"
