While Hall has bought and sold over 1,000 quilts, she has bought and sold over 10,000 feed sacks. During her lecture, Hall demonstrated items made throughout the decades from feed sacks, and passed along bits of feed sack trivia. For instance, feed sacks prior to 1943 held commodities measuring 98 pounds, 49 pounds, 24 and a half pounds, 12 and a half pounds and six and a half pounds. Hall held up a quilt made from eight 100-pound feed sacks that had the seams taken out and then were all sewn together with four opened sacks comprising the front of the quilt and another four for the back.
