An inventory recently indicated that most of the leftovers were too small to make into clothing - but much too big and “valuable” to just throw away. So the kids and I set up the ping-pong table in the basement and began piecing and pinning the assorted scraps into bed - size crazy quilts. Because some of the pieces are fairly large, the quilt progresses rapidly and we could complete one in just a few hours. I was sewing the latest creation together the other day when I mentioned to Patty that farm women in the past sometimes used feedbags to make quilts. “What’s a feedbag?” she asked, eyes widening. Launching into a 10-minute explanation, I told her how animal feed was once delivered in bags made of colorful, printed cotton fabric. Then the thrifty housewives opened the bags, washed them and created aprons, tablecloths, pillowcases, etc. “I can remember your Grandma making me snirts from them when I was a little boy,” added her dad. “Mostly, very fine textured chicken feed was what the bags held.” ALFALFAS WL 311—1976 State Grand Champion Award Resistant to Anthracnose and Bacterial Wilt WL 318—Resistant to phytophtora root rot High Yielding— Excellent Stand Persistence Rapid growing Dark green color fine stems Excellent seeding vigor and stand establishment Developed by Waterman Loomis Co., specialized alfalfa breeders. FIELD and GRASS SEEDS Shirema-istown Pa 17091 Then I remembered material pieces my mother had given me several months ago-feedbag material stored a long time in her closet and now transferred into ours. After digging them out, we showed the youngsters how the bags had been constructed and where the fastening strings could be pulled out to open the yardage into a flat piece. Patty had seemed very interested in the entire discussion; suddenly she looked at me with a “so what?” expression on her face. Then turning to leave, she announced: “And that’s how it was, folks, 200 years ago today.” Nothing can put an adult in his place better than a well placed one - liner from a kid. GARBER JL CO.
