This collection will take you down memory lane, showing you the patterns just as they were featured so many years ago. Homemakers used these patterns to enrich their lives with small pleasures and decorating touches. They used the pin money they had squirreled away to purchase this useful little luxury, which they treasured and passed on to their daughters. The stories of how the patterns developed and how they were used will fascinate, touch the heart and inspire.
By today's standards, the illustrations may be out of style, but the writing is down-to-earth and easy to understand. That is part of the charm of this vintage collection of favorite patterns. Written with an artist's soul and a frugal homemaker's skill, this collection is more than just a book of quilt patterns. Mrs. McKim gives fabric requirements, color choices and layout tips. She also tells stories of how some of the designs were developed, along with charming histories.
Whether you are a newcomer to sewing, or a seasoned quilter, the pages of this compelling collection will start your mind spinning with potential designs. Unlike many quilt books, this volume is a stepping-stone for expanding your own, unique ideas. Use it for inspiration and guidance as you create your own one-of-a-kind heirloom project.
Most of us no longer have an Aunt or Grandmother who can teach us the fine art of quilting. This classic book of quilt patterns can help, with suggestions for piecing and appliqué, types of materials and methods for setting together the pieces. Mrs. McKim gives advice on borders, marking the quilt, preparing the piece for the quilt frame, sizes and hand quilting.
With quilt patterns, flowers, animals, embroidery and appliqué, this quaint and useful book will become a favorite that you will refer to time and again. Like a trusted friend, these pages will become a reference to turn to for advise, inspiration and even entertainment.
