More Quilt Stories from the 1930s

I have a new title on Amazon this month.




Malaga 1937 

Quilt Stories from the Heart of Washington

 

I been working on this e-book for a long time.  I purchased this friendship quilt way back in 2013. It has often been the centre of attention:

A New Quilt for the Collection



It was featured in an article in Down Under Quilts. And it was the source of inspiration for a mystery quilt project which became the Etsy pattern Heart of Washington.

And now it is a collection of stories about the women behind the quilt and domestic life in the year 1937.  The women were mothers and immigrants and teachers and farmer's wives and pioneers.  There are stories about sewing machines and kitchen appliances; feedsacks and cotton batting; newspaper patterns and baby names.  A nice hodge-podge of quilt stories and pictures, just right for a sit down and a hot drink.

Why the Heart of Washington?  It comes from an apple box label that I found online.
