Dear Friend,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to let you know… “I love patchwork quilt patterns.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for ways to make the best patchwork quilt possible. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.
You see, a few months ago, I was doing some research on Ruby Short McKim, one of the most well-known and respected sewing experts of her time. I noticed that most of her work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of her most important pieces of work, ‘101 Patchwork Patterns’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails I finally got him to mail me his copy.
I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Patchwork Quilting Manuscripts Of All Time....
Even though it was first published in 1962, this book has the best patchwork sewing information I have ever seen.
In the 7 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:
- How to make the 'old maids puzzle'...which is a popular one but hasn't been made for quite a while. Learn how to re-create this old masterpiece.
- How to sew another favorite called the...'weathervane' which the old grandmothers used to make all the time. You'll be so glad to have one of these.
- The simple steps of how to make the 'pine tree '...a lovely piece of works that you'd be proud to display anywhere in your home.
- What material to select to make your patchwork. If you pick the cheap and nasty ones, you'll be very disappointed in the final product.
- Secrets to using the best lining...that will make your work just that much better. Learn what one's to use to get the most professional effect.
- 5 easy steps to learn how to cut out your material properly...so that all the pieces sew together and align up . Get this wrong and you'll have all the trouble in the world.
- Why you have to 'clip' when doing your appliqué...to keep the stems width all the same and more reasons you'll learn in the book.
And there’s loads more…
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was a fan of patchwork quilts) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Ruby Short McKim’s complete work on this website.
Quilting is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.
It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE
Now you have no excuse for not being able to create the best patchwork quilt patterns anyone's ever seen.
So without any further adieu, let’s get started...
