My Marilyn in a Potato Sack Post got me thinking about I adore feed cloth. It's beautiful and usable. Our industrious ancestors used this cloth not only to fold the life giving flour, but for a multitude of cloth articles in the home including towels, rags, clothing, toys, blankets, aprons, and a multitude of other amazing things.
