Feedsack Secrets: Fashion from Hard Times

by Gloria Nixon

Overview

The poverty of the Depression and fabric shortages during World War II made feedsacks highly important to the quilter during the 1930s and 1940s. In this book, quilt historian Gloria Nixon shares her research through tens of thousands of pages of old farm periodicals, magazines and newspapers as she explains the story of the patterned feedsack.

About the Author

Gloria Nixon and her husband Roger live in the Flint Hills of
rural Wabaunsee County, Kansas. They enjoy attending local
farm auctions where Roger searches for woodworking tools and Gloria
keeps an eye open for a feedsack or two. That’s how she found her first
dress print bags some ten years ago. She also collects Kansas City Star
patterns and old quilt ephemera.
Gloria is a quilt history researcher who especially enjoys studying
individuals and the contribution each made to quilt history. She is a
member of the American Quilt Study Group (AQSG), the Iowa Illinois Quilt
Study Group (IIQSG) and the Feedsack Memories discussion group. Her
articles appear in Pieces of Time: A Quilt and Textile History Magazine. This
is her first book with Kansas City Star Quilts.
