As I said in my previous post, I need to do some research before listing these on Etsy.
But I thought I would share my finds here first.
I did a search on Craigslist for Quilting Fabric hoping for an Estate Sale.
Instead I came upon an ad for vintage fabric.
The fabric is from an estate of unmarried sisters and is in great condition.
It was advertised as 1960's, but I think most of it is more likely from the 1940's!!!
And here is the best find of all - this is brighter in person.
The woman I was buying from is very experienced and she didn't realize what it was.
When I picked it up, she said she didn't know what this would be used for because of the border.
As soon as I saw it, I told her it was a feedsack! And the price was great.
It might be the full original feedsack with the stitching removed.
I had been dreaming I would find one someday for a price I could afford, and it happened!
Now to decide what to sell and what to keep.
I think I will list it really high to start in case my friend comes by again. Hee hee.
Blessed Sewing,
Karen
