Dogwood Blossom, published in the Star February, 1934
The Star published over a thousand quilt patterns from 1928 to 1961.
Sunbonnet Sue, designed by Eveline Foland, published in the Star 1930.
You can get Star patterns online by subscribing to My Star Collection. For a $20 annual fee you can download a Kansas City Star quilt pattern once a week for a year---52 patterns. Each pattern has been redrafted to eliminate inaccuracies in the originals and includes rotary-cutting instructions. You can also buy extras for $2 each.
You have access to a database of sketches of all the Star patterns, a feature I like because if I am dating a quilt like the Sunbonnet Sue quilt above it helps to know that the pattern was published August 9, 1930. The quilt couldn’t have been made before then.

I will have to go an take a look - this is one on of my favorite periods and one of my favorite looks.
Wonderful Post. I love these quilts and history of the patterns. I am history buff and am considering studying to be a quilt appraiser. Thanks so much
I always try to date quilts I see in the thrifts by the fabrics used, but not knowledgeable enough, to really tell, just a guess. Reading your blog is teaching me more about antique quilts, love learning about them.

An elderly member of my quilt guild gave me a very large box of quilting ephemera last year. A majority of the clippings were from the Kansas City Star. I love going through them!

Hello .. firstly I would like to send greetings to all readers. After this, I recognize the content so interesting about this article. For me personally I liked all the information. I would like to know of cases like this more often. In my personal experience I might mention a book called Generic Viagra in this book that I mentioned have very interesting topics, and also you have much to do with the main theme of this article.
A person can tell you what to expect and can help mitigate its possible side effects. The time it takes to work is shorter than other acne medications in the market. http://www.toyjunkiesf.com/ - buying isotretinoin online Accutane has received bad press because of some contraindications from the drug. The Food and Drugs Administration recommends Accutane for the treatment of severe and persistent nodular acne.
Has anyone seen the additional patterns for Eveline Foland's Memory Bouquet published in the Detroit News?
