Worlds Fair Tablecloth Pattern - Vintage

Another pattern from my collection of vintage and antique designs:





This one isn't dated but I'm assuming it's from the 30's or 40's. It was a complimentary pattern from The American Thread Company.

I scanned the pattern at 300 dpi so it should be quite readable. Click on the image to go my Flickr site where you can download the large version.

Enjoy!

New Comfort Doll Blog!

I went over to Pat's Gatherings blog to look for an Etsy link that Pat mentioned awhile back and found that Pat set up a new blog just for the Comfort Doll project. You can find the link here.

As you know, I so much enjoy making little CQ cat dolls for this project. I'm not sure why I enjoy it so much. Perhaps it's just knowing that I'm sending a bit of cheer to someone in need or maybe it's because they work up quickly and I get some much needed instant gratification from finishing something in a short amount of time. Or maybe it's just my love of cats! I honestly don't know why but whatever the reason, there are many more to come!

I hope you'll consider making one little doll to send to Pat for the Comfort Doll Project. It's really fun and it's just such a nice thing to do!

Vintage Quilt Block Advertisement

This is really more of an advertisement than a pattern but I thought if I had any sane quilters who read my blog, they might find some inspiration in these:









There isn't a date on here but I'll ballpark it around the 1930's.

A Bunch Of Finishes

I finished the stitching on the blue comfort cat:



I didn't get him completed in time to send to Pat with my current batch so he'll go out with the next batch.

And here's the 3 that I just sent off to Pat:



The Redwork Cat is my favorite! I may sew up a few more white ones to stitch in all one color. A Greenwork and Bluework cat would be pretty!

I mailed these on Saturday along with the 15 Pocket Babies that my mom made so Pat should be receiving her package either today or tomorrow.

And this pillow for my mom for Christmas is my final finish for the week:



I'm stitching on a gift that I can't share here at the moment but I still have a lot of antique patterns so I'll be posting those through out the week until I finish up my current project.
