Feedsack Photo Shoot!

Hi!

You may remember a few posts back I teased you with a photo of

one of the items that I bought when I went to market in Atlanta.

Guess what arrived yesterday??

I was soooo beyond excited to get the box open because look what was inside........Yep! Ten of the most wonderful nubby old feed sacks directly from France via Atlanta!
I was a lucky duck that day I found these. I was actually looking for a floor that was supposed to be selling Cash & Carry antiques. That turned out to be a farce.


Instead I was fortunate enough to find the couple who had these AND I was their first customer of the day.

They had a stack of about 6 or 7 laying on top of a table when they invited me to go "behind the curtain" and see what was back there. My jaw hit the floor! No joke...it was AMAZING what they had and then I hear this....."Go ahead and pick out the ones you want and we'll ship them to you....you're lucky you're the first one to see them!" Oh my gosh did I have a BLAST! I was going through feed sack after feed sack wanting them ALL! In an effort to not blow my whole shop budget on just feed sacks, I decided on 10.

Here they are......

They are truly all in wonderful condition. I even loved them with the handmade repairs.

THIS one is my favorite. It's a neutral check that I have never seen before.

The pattern and texture are so beautiful.

Think of the pillows that could be made...

or simply used as table runners...

or just stack um.....

the details like this make me smile...

neutral stripes...

or red stripes are pure perfection....

stitched with love...

I am in heaven just looking at them.

I had plans to make so many things but now I don't know if I have the guts to cut them.

What would you do?

Cheers! :0)
