This is such a cute book and I think the drawings are perfect for embroidery. The book is very tall, and includes a colored picture at the top of each page suggesting how you should paint your picture. It seems strange to me now, but when I was young I had a very “stay in the lines” kind of personality and probably would have painted the picture exactly according to the directions. I’ll keep scanning and posting these pages, because I think all 46 drawings would make darling quilt blocks.

These are very cute! I can picture them as quilt blocks too!
These are adorable! Thank you for taking the time to scan and post; that is time consuming! I’m glad you included them here; I don’t check out my contacts at Flickr as often as I would like, but I RSS your blog and read it daily 🙂
A devoted fan (grin)
