Default Ruby Short McKim

By accident earlier today, I stumbled on this site which may have been posted sometime previously and/or which others might enjoy Ruby Short McKim's patterns from the 1930s.

Thank you I have her pink book from when my mother made a quilt in the 70's. It's a favorite to look for pattern names. So many people change the block name when they make a quilt, it's nice to see the name as it was back then.

I like how many of her drawings fit into a square shape. I want to embroider her flower set one day. Here's a pic of one of the flowers (scroll down):

Yes, this is the site. Thank you, Mimi Sews! I was sure I had included it, but obviously not. Click on "cutting patterns" to access the many blocks Mrs. McKim posted in the 1930s.
