Lockport Batting Company published several booklets and leaflets of Anne Orr quilt designs. I have two of the booklets and a few leaflets. Following up on the Anne Orr inspired quilt designs that I recently posted, I thought I would show you the original patterns from this 1944 publication. It’s amazing to me that Anne designed so many beautiful patterns for tatting, crochet, lace making, knitting, cross stitch and quilts, even though she was not a needleworker.
These old booklets have yellowed with age and have a few stains. I’ve tried to clean them up, and hope they are still legible enough to use.
My goodness those are beautiful…
When I first looked at the photos, I thought that the garland quilt was on a table, instead of the four-poster bed! I was thinking that someone else had the same thought I had about using the design for a tablecloth! These designs are really pretty!
These designs are gorgeous and would make lovely patterns for quilts.
Looking for RHODODENDRON quilt pattern and information. Mary Shafer’s quilted the rhododendron but can’t find the pattern. Would love to try my skills in applique on this top. My friend in Belleville,Michigan bought a top and hand quilted the 1940’s top into a beautiful quilt. Velia Lauerman 313 605 2171 , 108 North street, Hudson, Michigan 49247 9705. Land # 517-448-2323.
