News Paper Series Patterns
In working with 1930's patterns almost daily for months, I've found that it's almost predictable that everything was done on such a small scale. One of the contributing factors to the old newspaper patterns was that they only had a certain amount of space to publish each week and were restricted to the size (as attested by all of the many ads jammed against their sides). There were often inaccurate, with some blocks measuring as they should and others either much smaller or larger. In addition, they have weathered time in various degrees of deterioration - where necessary, damaged or inaccurate areas have been retyped or redrawn. These patterns have all been rechecked and adjusted for the correct measurement.
Each Newspaper pattern will come with an information sheet with tips and suggestions on working with patterns published in Newspapers.
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.

| Magic Vine Applique Pattern Nancy Page $18.00 |
|
| "Magic Vine"
From the
Nancy Page quilt club is a photo copy of her 1930’s Magic Vine Appliqued quilt
pattern. Finished measurements are 90x108; it could be made larger by enlarging
the background blocks, borders or the leaf border around the outside (included
in instructions).
All of the
blocks were copied directly from the original patterns that were clipped from
the farm newspapers and were part of a dear friends grandmother’s collection.
Mouse chewed, these were almost not retrieved, so I redrew the blocks to assure
accuracy. I also rewrote instructions, added a layout sheet with measurements,
and several color photos of quilts either finished or in progress. This has 4
bouquet vines, with 2 vine repeats and a leaf vine all around the
outside.
