Grain sacks are sacks made from coarse material (often linen) that were used to store grain.  Typically, grain sacks have either a graphic, letters, numbers or stripes on them in either blue or red.

They are beautiful when used as toy sacks, Christmas stockings, decorative pillows, table runners, placemats or even as upholstery fabric. Its a wonderful thing to reuse and reinvent this historic item.
