I don't believe recycling is exactly what the women in the 1900s were thinking about when they began using feed sacks to help clothe their families, but living during the WWI and then having the Great Depression begin not too long after brought about a need to find new ways to provide for the family. Thus began the use of feed sacks in quilting and sewing.
Join us April 17, 2026 here at the Missouri Quilt Museum or virtually as Cecilia Reid shares about the intriguing history of how feed sacks were turned into beautiful items to continue to use!
