I have been looking for the PERFECT vintage feedsack to make some pillow from for my screened in porch. Today our town had it's annual street Antique Fair. I stopped at a both filled with vintage table clothes and linens and peaking out of a basket full of very faded feedsacks, I spied a bit of blue and red.
I dug it out of the pile and couldn't believe my eyes! A wonderful vintage feedsack. Soft from years of washing, but the reds and blue were still very colorful. The best part was there was a ROOSTER (well actually a chicken) on it!! And RED ROSES!
I am going to make this into 4 pillows. I promise to show you them when I am finished.
Did I find the PERFECT vintage feedsack or what?
Welcome Home,
Penny

Hello Penny, we are home at last and it is good to visit my blogging friends again. Thank you for your visits and comments while we have been on vacation. I loved reading your comments and well wishes for a safe trip home. We were lucky to not have a single hitch on our looong road trip. It is a blessing to be home safe and sound that's for sure.
I LOVE your wonderful feed sack find. It is perfect and I agree that you were very lucky to find it as well. Be sure and show us your pillow when it is finished.
I'll be watching!
Hugs...Jeanne

I found a couple of sacks this weekend. One is a chicken feed sack the other a flour sack. I can't wait to see your pillows and how you divide the sack up to make 4.
