A Quilt Called Frances

Since there were no photos in my last post I thought I'd show you a different image of Frances. What you don't see is CarGuy in his bathrobe holding this up on a very chilly Colorado morning. LOL. What a guy! As always, the image is clickable for a large view.

And just for Finn, I dug out a very old booklet that was published in 1933 and shot a photo of it. The rugs in here are made from strips of fabric and the designs are reminiscent of quilt patterns; there are several different hexagons and a hearth rug made from half a Dresden plate: all crocheted!



I apologize for you not being able to comment. Blogger has decided that my default is to not allow reader comment and to hide backlinks. * BIG SIGH* Just one more thing to check before hitting that 'PUBLISH' button.

  1. That booklet looks excellent - and it kind of matches the quilt in terms of nostalgia for the 20's and 30's.

  2. It is a beautiful quilt. I wonder if we go through some proper photo processing software, if we can xray the quilt and get to see carguy in his bathrobe.

    I got that Optical Illusions for Quilters book from the library a couple of times. You are right, it is very informative and technical. I've seen the memory books too, and thought I should add that to that evergrowing to - do list.

  3. The quilt looks marvelous. Hubbies are good for holding up quilts! I should ask mine to help me out, he's a foot taller than I am.

  4. Frances looks great *s* I bet Grandma Clark has some good, sensible tips for making rugs. The book looks like a lot of fun.

  6. Frances is adorable. I love her.

    Rugs from strip of fabric . . . published in 1933. I didn't know the concept has been around that long.
