Feed Bags from Fibrefest

Behold my Fibrefest find! I found this lot of feed bags for $5 at one of the vendor booths. I've been hoping to come across a few of these for a long time, and am pleased because these are specifically for products that I like, clover and oats. I love the the bold logos, the typography, the faded ink, the hole clean through the clover seed bag, the name Gold Standard, and reading the Ontario place names. 

Bring Back the Flour Sack

This grandma's flower garden quilt was made by some of my female relatives in the 1930s. 

It was likely created using their old dresses and flour sacks, and the whole thing was pieced and sewed by hand, which is absolutely incredible! Some of the hexagons are torn off with wear. 

Now the cheery quilt hangs on the wall behind my computer and art desk, inspiring vintage style designs!

This is my new surface pattern design motto, and this is my start to the return of the calico!
