Hard Times, Splendid Quilts
By Carolyn McCormick
A 1930's Celebration: paper piecing from the Kansas
City Star
Hard times were the norm during the 1930's. It was a time
of unemployment, foreclosures, poverty, dust storms and making
do. It was a time when women did what was necessary to care for
their family.
They lovingly stitched scraps together into quilts to provide
warmth and a bit of splendor in the midst of deprivation.,
The Kansas City Star published the majority of their pattern
collection during the 1930's. Carolyn Cullinan McCormick chose
20 of the old patterns and made them into paper pieced patterns
for today's quilter.
Now you can recreate a splendid, precise Depression-era quilt
using Carolyn's easy paper-piecing method. Use reproduction prints
to make your own wonderful quilt using the 10" patterns
or, if a miniature quilt is more your cup of tea, 4" patterns
are also included.
