Seven Sisters Quilt Top

Posted on April 18, 2014April 19, 2014 by Martha

I can hardly believe it’s been a whole year since I finished hand piecing the blocks for the Seven Sisters quilt top. Although I managed to get the blocks sewn together with the white triangle pieces, the top languished for many months because I couldn’t decide if I wanted a border, and if so, what…

Poster Picture Book to Color — Peter Mabie, 1934

Posted on April 11, 2014August 1, 2015 by Martha

I’m finally done restoring these images, and in the process I figured out an easier Photoshop method for cleaning up the pictures that have been colored with dark crayons. It feels good to be able to preserve these cute drawings for current and future Peter Mabie fans. To view the other illustrations, simply type “Mabie”…

Tumbler Doll Quilt for Swap

Posted on April 6, 2014August 4, 2015 by Martha

Today I finished the swap Tumbler Quilt, and I am excited to put it in the mail. After considering several different quilting designs, I ended up outline quilting inside each tumbler piece, just like I did on my bed-sized version. I think it gives the quilt an old-fashioned look. The quilt will be a  surprise,…

Bow Alphabet Embroidery Designs, 1909

Posted on April 4, 2014August 1, 2015 by Martha

These sweet bow alphabet letters were drawn by Sarah Hale Hunter and published in newspapers on two consecutive Sundays in 1909. She suggests the following method for executing the designs: The letters should be carefully padded and then worked in solid satin stitch, making the stitches as close together and as evenly as possible.

Poster Picture Book to Color — Peter Mabie, 1934

Posted on March 30, 2014August 1, 2015 by Martha

Last year I started scanning and cleaning this cute book by one of my favorite illustrators, Peter Mabie. About half of the 96 pages were uncolored, requiring only a little work in Photoshop to clean up the darkened paper. The remaining pages were all colored/scribbled on by a child using a black crayon (the most…

Tumbler Doll Quilt Top

Posted on March 25, 2014 by Martha

I’m pretty excited today, because I just finished this top for the doll quilt swap sponsored by Lori at Humble Quilts. Although I know the recipient of this little quilt, she doesn’t know I am the one making it for her.  Of course, I don’t know who is making a quilt for me either, so…
