Flower Quilts – A Dozen Favorites from Grandmother’s Garden

Posted on August 28, 2011August 2, 2015 by Martha

Probably as a result of all the napkin stitching, I have managed to develop tendonitis in my left hand which requires a rest from any hand sewing until the thumb heals.  I thought this might be a good time to post some of my vintage quilt booklets, so I have started the process of scanning the pages and cleaning up the images.

All of these books are soft-cover wraps and generally contain around 20 pages.  Because instructions are minimal, each pattern takes up only one or two pages, although some books have two or three patterns on one page.

    After returning this morning from physical therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome and related hand issues I read your blog and “feel your pain”! Rest is indeed a good thing for those of us who love to do hand work. In addition I have sought relief from a good hand doctor and a great hand physical therapist. I highly recommend both. And since they suggest I limit my computer time right now I will sign off wishing you well. 🙂
