Egg Money Quilts: 1930's Vintage Samplers [Spiral-bound] Review

This delightful book is a unique keeper.It is a visual treat of reproduction fabric projects.The spiral bound design makes it special and so easy to read as the pages lie flat.The cardboard templates easily punch out and don't need to be cut.My first project will be the 1930's style Etta's apron which also includes a paper pattern.A nice touch is the appropriate quilting design or a chicken or rooster located at the page number.

Quilt Revival: Updated Patterns from the 30's [Paperback] Review

This book was first bought to my attention by a fellow quilter. It begins with a short history of quilting in the 30s followed by shorter section on color and prints. There are the usual sections on cutting and assembly aimmed at the beginning quilter. I must admit this is the first time I have seen a section on joining batting so there would be no waste. There are 11 quilts in this book.Each has a history of its block, wheither it was new in the 1930s or an old block revived in the 30s. The author cites where her pattern was obtained from.Each quilt has its own picture of the finished quilt, some in more than one color scheme.Each quilt has its own directions which I found to be very clear.I hope the author comes out with a follow up book with more of the designs from the 1930s.As she stated some of the newspapers published one a week for 10 years. That's 520 1930s designs. These are only 11 of them.
