Aunt Martha's Workbasket, October 1937



Lots of crochet projects; a man's tie, woman's ascot, and potholders in the shape of a turnip and carrot.  The cover outfit is knitted, and there's a pretty but tricky-looking quilt pattern on p4 called Springtime Blossoms that looks like a variation of the classic Dogwood pattern.  The pdf is available as a free download at the Antique Pattern Library site.

As a side note, I should apologize for the sporadic postings of the past few weeks but as Paris gets closer, it's just going to get worse. 

To recap - Youngest Sister and I are taking a river cruise from Paris to Normandy and back to Paris, where we will be joined by Oldest Sister and Oldest Sister's Oldest Daughter* and Youngest Sister's Oldest Friend.  After four days whooping it up in the City of Lights, YSOF is returning to her home in London, YS, OS, OSOD and I will be heading for Haguenau for a week and then back to Paris where YS and I will fly home and OS and OSOD will travel on to Brussels. 

There's a good chance that we have driven our poor travel agent to drink.   

(*technically, she's Oldest Sister's Only Daughter, but...details).

  1. We don't have to promise to be good as gold while you're gone because it sounds like you won't be ;) I Hope you all have a great time!
