Nostalgic Nosegays
Quilt designed by Debby Kratovil for Blank Quilting
Quilted by Cathy MacDonald
Feedsack fabric designed by Susie Osburn
Bouquets of summer blooms are captured for year-round enjoyment with delightful reproduction feedsack fabrics. Manufactured during the early 1900s to hold grain and seed, printed cloth feedsacks were used by thousands of women to create quilts and clothing during the Great Depression. Quilters today appreciate both their beauty and history. While authentic feedsacks are becoming harder to find, reproduction fabrics make it possible to re-create quilts that have the same nostalgic charm.
