The patterns got all mixed up when I was grouping them by print size. Only a few of the individual patterns include a date, so I am no longer able to tell which envelope most of them came from, but it’s either 1937 or 1939.
This group includes two pieced patterns and two appliqué patterns; one of the appliqué patterns (Summer Flowers) has geometric shapes giving it the look of a pieced pattern. I’ve never liked stitching these, because I think it’s very difficult to keep all those angles straight. I’d rather sew a complicated pieced pattern than one of these.
These instruction sheets have only a tiny illustration of the finished block, so I enlarged it for each pattern. Click twice on the template page to enlarge, then right click to save the image which can be printed in the original size on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper.
Turkey in the Straw
Connecticut Star
Summer Flowers
Christmas Rose
I love that Christmas Rose pattern, even if I don’t do applique! It is an intriguing pattern, as is summer flowers! Thanks for sharing Martha, hopefully soon I will get back to sewing!
Hugs, Mickie
Summer Flowers is pretty, but I’d never applique it, either. Wonder if it could be converted to a pieced pattern?
Thanks for posting all these vintage patterns, Martha.
Thank you for these great patterns! I really like the Turkey in the Straw and the Christmas Rose patterns.
Thank you for these! I have to make a baby quilt and have been struggling rather desperately to come up with an idea for it. I think Turkey in the Straw may just be the solution. Thank you, thank you!
I learned to piece with Georgia Bonesteel and her lap quilting book. I remember trying a star with sharp points and I sewed and resewed it several times and never could get the points right. 🙁 Now days I see the same block, cut up into sections with a rotary cutter and pieced without having to be so precise on the points…. it just works out!!! Got to try it again one day!!
Thank you for sharing, these are lovely
