More Mountain Mist!
I'm so happy with this catalog! It gives us such a good insight not only on quilting but how this company has continued to thrive! The company was established in 1846 and continues to this day!
The company gives clear instructions for first time quilters but what if you don't want to take the time to quilt an entire quilt? Well here's a solution in this catalog: make a comforter instead and you can even see that at least one of these examples is tied! The other uses "low-priced cotton blankets filled with Fluft."
A few of the quilts in this catalog appear to be more "modern" and might even be favored by today's modern quilters:
Some of the patterns are of an enduring nature, like "Snowbound" which features alternating blocks:
The catalog even features washing instructions!
Since it is the week of Halloween, I thought I would feature one of the quilts that is quite perfect for this holiday: Jack O'Lantern.
This quilt pattern is quite rare but Bill Volckening featured the pattern on his blog and you can look at it here.
Obviously I have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of this catalog and I hope you have too! Thank you again Barb!!!
Tomorrow is Flower Friday--do you have anything left in your garden to share? If so, email me at allentownquilter@gmail.com!
Have a safe and happy day!
