Hi Diane, I would like to welcome new folks too! And I have a confession - At the last appraisal fair I did, I saw two really awesome old quilts - One I think was 1940's and the pink was screamming at me - LOL! The second one though, Oh My! I think it was an antique Amish - and bad me didn't take any pics to share - I won't do it again, promise!

I wish the new members were featured on the last page of the group members, so I could wish every individual member a warm welcome. I know there have been a few new members lately, for one...Karen, and I would like to welcome all of you to our group! Please post photos and discussions, and ask questions! :O)

Great, Dianne! The woman who has catalogued all those various patterns of feedsack still finds new ones every time someone sends her a bunch of swatches. I know I've had about 5000 different ones myself, and I see ditterent ones all the time!

Did you know, that for years the strongest market for feedsacks has been Japanese quilters? They are largely responsible for the run-up in price and the high value of some of the novelty and juvenile sacks. I've sent thousands of them to Japan over the years!

Hi, Dianne,

I added this comment to your blog posting on feedsacks, since I've been in that business for years:

Urban myth? On the contrary, there have now been isolated and recorded almost 20,000 different printed patterns, when you count separate colorways of each.

On my blog The Rickrack Rag I have a feature called Feedsack Friday that's loaded with feedsack images and information.

On my site, Sharon's Antiques: Vintage Fabrics I feature hundreds of different feedsacks, and have sold many thousands over the past 11 years or so.
