Excellent color pix of many feed sack patterns, history, etc. There are no quilt or sewing patterns in this book. Good resource.

This review is from: Vintage Feed Sacks: Fabric from the Farm (Schiffer Books) (Paperback)
I was preparing a cultural enrichment/history of hard times and wanted to include a section on how homemakers used flour and feed sacks. How it enabled the farm wife the ability to have the same fashion fabric for clothing and home decor' as the city dweller for free or for only a fraction of expense. This was a good resource.

Really interesting book on feed sacks and the many prints available in the past. Just wish I could find them in this area!
