A nice mixture of 10, vintage, pieced quilt patterns and applique quilt patterns. C1940. Some of these patterns are from The Grit newspaper. People would see a pattern, order it and it came to them via the mail. There are two applique patterns from McCalls including Dresdan Plate and Grandmother’s Fan. There are two, handmade, cardboard, applique patterns; Sun Bonnet Sue and Butterfly. Condition on all appears to be unused. I have not checked to see if all pieces are included, but since they have not been used, everything should be there.
PRICE: $16.00

This is a large amount of cardboard quilting templates and a few quilt patterns. I believe they date from the 1930′s or 40′s. Back then people used the cardboard from food boxes and household boxes to make their own quilting templates and quilt patterns. some are crude, some are well made. Definitely a piece of quilting history! They are in used condition, some better than others!

An early, flax linen splash guard. These were put on the wall behind a wash stand to prevent the wall from being damaged by splashing water. This piece is hand worked in turkey red embroidery. The embroidery is well executed. It measures 17 & ½” by 34 & 1/2”. This is an early textile, hence the coarse, flax linen; it is ecru in color. The design shows a boy and girl meeting at the water well amongst flowers. In writing is “Good Morning”. Very Victorian! Condition is excellent for an antique textile 100+ years. There are 3 holes on the top and two on the bottom corners, where it was tacked up. These are hardly noticeable. Please see the photo for how the edges were turned to the back and basted. Roughly done, but like that for 100+ years, so I left it original. Any lines seen in the photo are from my camera.

An early, flax linen splash guard. These were put on the wall behind a wash stand to prevent the wall from being damaged by splashing water. This piece is hand worked in turkey red embroidery. The embroidery is well executed. It measures 16 & ½” by 30”. This is an early textile, hence the coarse, flax linen; it is ecru in color. The design is 3 whimsical owls sitting on a branch, asking, “Where have you been OWL night?” Very Victorian! Condition is excellent for an antique textile 100+ years. There are 3 holes on the top and two on the bottom corners, where it was tacked up. These are hardly noticeable. Two very light stains on the corners, again, insignificant. Please see the photo for how the edges were turned to the back and basted. Roughly done, but like that for 100+ years, so I left it original.
