Spring Apron Giveaway

Posted on March 23, 2014July 28, 2015 by Martha

To celebrate the beginning of Spring, I am offering this bib apron in a floral print.  The apron was made from a large vintage Brunschwig & Fils decorator fabric sample, together with a vintage linen embroidered napkin, which I embellished with a bit of running stitch in embroidery floss.  I then trimmed the apron with…

Mourning Lucy Miniature Quilt

Posted on March 10, 2014March 10, 2014 by Martha

This is a memorial quilt for my recently deceased almost 17 year-old dog, Lucy. I made the quilt using fabrics from antique tops and blocks, including mourning prints, shirtings, homespuns, and added some old pink pieces for my sweet girl dog. The quilting pattern in the blocks is made up of diagonal lines and circles,…

Nancy Page Summer Garlands Quilt, 1936 – Pattern #2

Posted on March 6, 2014July 27, 2015 by Martha

Pattern #2 contains the first of 20 bowknots in this design. One thing I really enjoy about Nancy Page patterns is the attention to detail in the instructions and patterns. The Page patterns assume a moderate knowledge of quilting ability (as do most vintage patterns), and there are not many illustrations, but the instructions are…

1920s Style Aprons

Posted on March 5, 2014July 28, 2015 by Martha

The past week I have been experimenting with aprons again, the pattern inspired by the aprons in my 1920s Herrschner’s catalogs. I used this same pattern for my Valentine apron, but this time I am changing it up a little by using vintage linens and adding embroidered details. To make them hang better and look…

Nancy Page Summer Garlands Quilt, 1936

Posted on February 27, 2014July 27, 2015 by Martha

Today I have another Nancy Page pattern from the 1930s, but this time it’s an appliquéd quilt. In the article Nancy explained to her Quilt Club pals that the quilt was designed as a summer spread for a twin bed, so her version would not be quilted. The club members thought Summer Garlands was reminiscent…

Nancy Page Tyrolean Table Cover, 1937 – Figure 3

Posted on February 19, 2014July 20, 2014 by Martha

Here is the twin of the peasant girl in Figure 1 —  this twin has braids and a different dress.  I enjoy reading these old instructions because they are written in a very quaint style — lots of adjectives and arcane expressions.  “Nancy” tells you how to use a “modified fly stitch” for the scallops…

Nancy Page Tyrolean Table Cover, 1937 – Figure 1

Posted on February 17, 2014February 20, 2014 by Martha

This is the first of four figures on this small tablecloth.  The two girls and the two boys look like two sets of twins — their outfits, however, have different decorations, and look like fun to stitch.  Although the instructions below mention that the “jaunty Tyrolean peasant man” will be published next week, you’re going to…

Nancy Page Tyrolean Table Cover, 1937

Posted on February 16, 2014February 20, 2014 by Martha

Today I am going to share with you one of the more obscure Nancy Page designs. These patterns were published weekly in many newspapers in the US and Canada, and each paper had a particular day that they appeared. This design is meant for a card table and is cut from a piece of linen…
