I loved your story today and continue to enjoy how you make something to match your story. Your videos are inspiring and bring joy to my day.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for your sweet comments ☺️

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Your videos certainly resemble the issues of a magazine, I like that they're not often because nowadays we are bombarded with content, but since you post every other month your videos are something rare that I look for.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much☺️ I honestly would like to become a bit more regular with the videos (it's better for the You Tube algorithm) but I agree that there is a lot of content at the moment and it's quite bombarding after a while. Glad you are enjoying my videos🌷 Thank you for watching them and leaving a comment 🌿

The story is charming and the blouse is lovely. Any scrap fabric along with old worn out clothing, was then made into bed quilts. Nothing was toss away. Antique stores through the states are filled with beautiful feed sack quilts. Greetings from the Midwest USA. 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, very glad you enjoyed the story today! A vintage feed sack quilt would be an amazing thing to own, I love heirloom items :)

[@annburgoyne2529]

Was so excited when I saw your video arrive,it’s been a while, it didn’t disappoint. I loved the story of the sacks and how many people used them for clothes when times were difficult. I try and recycle most things if I can . Wonderful story ,the time flew by watching it , lovely to watch . Thank you Ida.💞

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Yes it's been a while since the last video... I hope to get quicker soon with the uploads😄. I am very glad you enjoyed the video and the story🌷Thank you so much for your sweet comment🌿

This one tpuched my heart. I have 2 feed sack quilts that my mother on law's mother made. They are over 100 years old. They lived on a farm in southern Ohio she had many siblings and a 3 hole outhouse to use. Thanks for the beautiful story. The fabrics still hold up today they were wxtremy strong. With many many years of washing and ise they have soften into cozy comfort. ❤❤

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

That's amazing, I really get excited when people share this kind of stories. I value vintage things because they make think about how the people that used them lived.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Wow, that's a amazing piece of family history and incredible heirlooms to have. I am so glad you enjoyed the story. . . knowing that one of my stories resonated with someone . . . it makes the writing and creation of these video so worth while :)

[@x.bev.x3006]

Hi Ida. I hope that you are well. Sending you all best wishes for a happy, healthy 2024.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello 😊 All is very well thank you. I hope to get back to making videos soon. All the best wishes for 2024 to you as well!

[@x.bev.x3006]

@@MeadowAfternoon Thank you. I look forward to seeing it.😊

[@christinebell8980]

Lovely, Ida. My mother in law shared stories of growing up on a farm in Nebraska during the time period you wrote about. All their clothes were made from feed sacks. It was fun for me to have you feature that part of history. Loved that story. Your blouse turned out great. Thanks for this video.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Oh wow! I love family stories like these, thank you so much for sharing🌿 Very glad you enjoyed the story today🌷

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

This video is so cozy and inspirational! I love your idea to paint your own pattern on beads. Your bracelet is unique and so beautiful ❤ I usually do book-inspired or movie-inspired journals. But history journal is a great idea 👍

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Xenia! Thank you :) I have a book-inspired journal as well, I loved researching history for my stories so the history journal gets the most use currently.

[@lindasmith685]

So look forward to your videos, love the content, very calming and relaxing to watch.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much Linda. Very glad you enjoy the videos 🌿🌷🌿

[@jenniferwatson6094]

Thank you Ida for all the work you put into such a lovely creative video. You certainly inform and inspire me to be making ,doing and living for the joy of it. You were very clever to persist with altering the pattern and making such a pretty blouse. Especially making up the sample. Well done.😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you Jennifer 🌷I can get rather stubborn with projects and will keep altering them indefinitely if I'm not careful 😅 I am glad that I played around with this pattern and learnt a few extra skills. I am very glad you enjoy the videos. Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment 🌼

[@elkahmae1283]

I remember my mom saying that they had made dresses out of gunny sacks thats what they were called in Washington state and were sometimes died different colors.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Gunny sacks ... I have not heard that term before 😄 Thank you for sharing, it's really interesting 🌿

[@floraposte3869]

So happy to see a new video by you. Super cozy and I love your short stories. Had to do a lot of ironing …but it was done in a jiffy whilst watching your video. I probably watch it again at least 4 times 😂

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for watching 🌿 Happy to hear you are enjoying the short stories and to keep you company while you attend to the ironing 🌷

Thank you so much for watching 🌿 Very glad you enjoyed the video 🍁

[@Thialeana]

I am a little late watching this. But oh I love the little feed sack dress story. I also noticed you have Tress of the Emerald sea! That was a really good book!

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Glad you enjoyed the story 🌿 Oh yes I am looking forward to reading Tress. It's my first Sanderson novel so hopefully I will get some more soon. I'd like to pick up some more of his Kickstarter novels.

[@Thialeana]

@@MeadowAfternoon Tress was my first Sanderson novel too! I absolutely loved it! One of my friends is an avid reader of his and said that it was one of his better books!

[@MeadowAfternoon]

@@Thialeana Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is the next one I think I will get . . . although the UK cover is nowhere near as nice as the US one so I may be buying the book from the states just for the cover :)

[@MeadowAfternoon]

@@Thialeana Oh and the Frugal Wizards Guide ... that's on my wish list well.
