Vintage Feed Sacks - Thrifty Saturday

I wanted to share some new feed sacks I purchased from Ebay.
 
 
The colors are looking really fresh and Fall to me.
Love the Red, Brown, Gold and Green combo.
 
I was so excited to find the top feed sack! 
The bottom print is a Japanese print by Kumiko Fujita if I'm not mistaken.  I find it fascinating that the only thing changed from the original is the scale and the addition of some text. I also noticed that the holly leaves and berries are replaced by a stalk of celery : )
 I got the Fabric from Ayumi's fabulous shop on Etsy.
I think it looks great with the previous feed sacks pictured.
 
 
 
 
 I love these sweet colors and motifs!
 
 
 
 
This little booklet has some fun quilting patterns.  I think "Night and Day" may be the next block for the "Vintage Block Quilt Along".
 
Have a lovely Day!

  2. Wow! You found some great feedsacks, Charise! You have a great eye for them. Thanks for showing the comparison of the OOP KF print and the feedsack; I looove seeing them side by side like that. Hope you're having a lovely weekend...

  6. These are all such sweet prints, I can't get enough of them :) I'm ready for the new block, too, and I really like the one you're considering. I am enjoying the challenge these vintage blocks offer.
