They have often been hard to find & its nice to see new groupings coming into the shops. <br /><br />Could you identify the pieced block in the quilt with the soft rose/pink background? Checking your encyclopedia, thought maybe #3461 Pyrotechnics? Definitely a quilt to consider reproducing. <br /><br />Thank you for this great postingPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395890193161794631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-75022600585595371762013-03-21T08:18:16.707-05:002013-03-21T08:18:16.707-05:00Thanks for another enjoyable and interesting post....Thanks for another enjoyable and interesting post.

Among them was that he often referred to our long-sleeved blouses as "shirtwaists". <br /><br />And let us spare a thought for the women tragically killed in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. That event gave much-needed fuel to the modern labor movement. Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603044941553500842noreply@blogger.com
