On being

For years, I have
promised myself to use up
some of the fabric odds and
ends flying around the house
in storage boxes before the

place. 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.”

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.
