Treasures from the '30s: Cheerful Quilts with Vintage Appeal
Well-known author Nancy Mahoney simplifies authentic Depression-era quilts from curved pieced patterns into applique. I don't think this is a beginner book; some experience with applique would be helpful. The book includes eight happy quilts from newspaper patterns that were popular during this decade of "make-do." It also includes facts from each year of this interesting time in American history. --Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews by Jennifer Zoeterman
