I have a huge notebook with patterns from the 30's that Grandmother saved from the newspaper some ae just pictures and some have the piecing information. They are definitely yellow but fun to look at.

Really folks, I checked. People collect old quilt pattern papers. You can see it on ebay. I confess to collecting old embroidery patterns but usually for 10--25 cents at a flea market or thrift store.

Perhaps the $100 is a typo.[/QUOTE]
This is what I was thinking. The envelopes remind me of some sewing, quilting or crafting thing I belonged to many years ago and you got a pattern a month in the mail. I am thinking it was back in 70s or 80's when I got these. Anyway long gone from my inventory (another word for clutter/crap) now. Take care.

The fonts on some of the envelopes appear quite modern. Some of the patterns could have originated in the 1930s yet not be original prints. It almost appears as if someone had belonged to a pattern club and received periodic mailings or some individual had a business selling traditional patterns. I remember when patterns were hard to find except for Mountain Mist and a quilter had to draft from examples in books like Marguerite Ickis or The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt. It was a wonderful day when Quilters' Newsletter was launched in black and green ink and then full color.
The other possibility was that the original owner collected the patterns offered in newspapers and other periodicals.
