child will never understand, it the
child sees parents who, them
selves, lack respect for people
with differences, the youngster
likely will emulate this behavior.
In addition to the above ideas, par
ents can use books to help children
deal with differences, an approach
that may seem less frightening to
young children. Two recom
mended books are ‘Talking about
Differences Children Notice,” by
Elizabeth Cary and “Reaching Po
tentials Through Anti-Bias, Multi
cultural Curriculum,” by Louise
Derman-Sparks.

Feedsack is a general term for
woven cotton bags that held grain,
feed, flour, and other staple items.
Beginning in the late 1930 s they
were {Hinted with colored patterns
and resourceful women began re
cycling the bags in to quilts, dress
es, sheets, underwear the list is
long! Printed feedsacks were pro
duce for 35 years and today they
are found at auctions, garage
sales, and in antique stores. Many
quilts were made with these color-

Convention
ing classes, lectures, historical dis
plays, and vendors.
This year, Deborah Roberts,
quilt historian and appraiser certi
fied by die American Quitter’s So
ciety, will be appraising all types
of quilts on a first-come, first
serve basis on Friday and Satur
day. Deborah notes that the most
common reason to appraise a quilt
is for insurance coverage.
She said “Losses occur even in
the most simple circumstances
and rarely is there a way to recov
er from the loss of a treasured quilt
unless it is insured. Even in the
best of situations, insurance com
panies today settle for cost of ma
terials only, unless the value can
be substantiated with a written ap
praisal by a qualified quilt ap
praiser.”
For a $35 fee, Deborah will
spend 30 minutes with you and
your quilt and produce a written
document that establishes a fair
market value.
She said, “If you think of your
quilts as more than blankets, you
may want to make sure that your
insurance company sees it that
way too!”
Drs. Beth Thome and Joanna
Nesselroad of Fairmount State
College in Charleston, West Vir
ginia study the fascinating role
that feedsacks played in rural life
in America. They have established
a permanent collection of feed
sack items that they will display at
the convention on Friday. April 3.
Dr. Thome says that “One of the
most common misconceptions is
the linking of printed bags with
the depression, when the earliest
they may have been available is
1937.”
Convention evenings are time
for lectures followed by “Show
and Tell,” the time when members
show their sack finds and tell the
stray of how they found them.
Wednesday’s lecture by Bar
bara Garrett of Pottstown, is
“With a Mother’s Love” a Histori
cal Overview of Quilting 1780
to 1940 illustrated with 47 doll
quilts. Mrs. Garrett is a quilt his
torian who has served as a consult
ant to the quilt documentation
projects in Schuylkill and York
counties.
' Thursday’s lecture is
“Seed Bags and the
Companies Who Issued
Them” by Ron Bennett,
of Victor, N.Y. Mr.
Bennett will talk about
the “seamless bags” that
helped build America.
Friday’s lecture is
about the collection of
Anna and Roger West
cott. Anna and Roger
have been collecting
feedsack items for more
than seven years. Their
collection includes over
3,500 sacks, a clown
costume, dolls (one with
straw stuffing) and
numerous household
items. The Wesdtcott’s
collection will also be
displayed throughout
the convention in the
vendor area. Saturday’s
lecture is a book signing
and the showing of a
film on Cotton Fields by
noted feedsack author
Anna Luc Cook.
Day admission to the
convention is $1 for
non-members. Hours
are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday,
April 3 and 4. Evening
lectures begin at 7 p.m.
and admission is $3 for
non-members.
