Whatever you call people that love old things (maybe nostalgic), I am one of them :thumbup: |
Dresden plates and fans are good....you might check out Darcy Ashton's cat books

LeeAnn, your quilts are gorgeous - those dresses are just adorable!
This is a crib quilt I made when I was first starting to get the hang of free-motion quilting without marking, so don't look at the wobbles. I like the strips of flying geese because they're versatile and give you lots of options for quilting different designs. If you make the strips between them wide enough, you can applique vines and flowers on them - I know I've seen a pattern for this on the web, but I can't find it now.

I made this one recently.

there's a really neat thing my mom makes for the body of the butterfly to make it 3d that is cool.---------maybe back to the egg money.

I'm doing this one right now in 30's prints. http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...ulip_quilt.htm

I have even seen a lovely one in a local quilt shop that is 9-patches alternating with snowball blocks. I really like the simplicity of it. Don't think you can make a bad 30's quilt lol.

Here's a link to the one I made: http://thingsthatarenotperfect.blogs...-my-entry.html
