flour sacks...

 

my grandma used to make my mom's dresses out of flour sacks during the depression...

grandma's sister made them for her, too...

my great grandma made a postage stamp quilt out of the leftovers...

I do not have any of the cute little dresses my mama wore...

but I did get the quilt top great grandma hand sewed together...

and I had that hand quilted by a friend of mine...

she even let me help on some of it...

the wisdom those old women had was passed down to us...

but this new generation didn't have those old ladies who could make something out of nothing...

they are sure missing out on so much...

blessed to be a kid back then...

have good days...
