Vintage Kit Patterns
In this section you will find many patterns adapted from those costly vintage kits. Kits where the color patch was numbered and matched to the pre-printed white backing. Sort of like a paint by numbers. The pieces are numbered as in the original and a graph is included with each pattern with layout. The kits were from Names such as Tobin, Lee Wards, Gold Art, Bucilla, Paragon and others. These kits were never sold as patterns only as kits. These are adapted from those kits and made in to patterns. Each pattern has complete instructions along with color pages (in most cases) with close colors to those used in the original kits.
All Applique pieces are full size. In some cases you will need to enlarge the quilting pattern if you wish to use the original stitching lines used in the kit.
Some images may be marked as to prevent the rising rate of pattern theft. The markings will not effect the use of the pattern for personal use. It only prevents copying for resale.
