Got any old feedsacks? Once an indication of poverty, feedsacks are now gold to whomever owns them. What was a feedsack and how was it used? Learn about these wonderful reflections of America’s rural past. Expect to see and touch great examples of quilts, clothing, dolls and other items made from feedsacks.
All this is going to be made possible by coming to the Poestenkill Historical Society meeting on Tuesday, September 23, at 7 pm at the Town Hall. Kris Driessen, who will be the speaker, is an accomplished quiltmaker, quilt historian, author, researcher and lecturer. Come and listen to all she has to offer – and if you should have any feedsacks, or items made from them, please bring them and share with us.
As always, refreshments will be served. Any questions, please call Gail at 283-4890.
