Aunt Martha's Workbasket, October 1937
In addition to the pretty knitted blouse on the cover, this month's patterns include two floral quilt appliques, a crocheted chrysanthemum, and a handwoven afghan. The afghan pattern includes instructions on building a small loom that appears to be a home version of the then-popular pin looms. Free download at the Antique Pattern Library.

Aunt Martha's Workbasket, September 1937
Crochet projects include the butterfly "chair protector" (front cover), flowers to wear as a pin or boutonniere, a kitchen match holder that boggles the mind (the editor points out helpfully that it can also be made of oilcloth), and a pansy mat.
The only non-crochet item is a Ring Around The Star pieced quilt. Contrary to last month's promises, the pattern for the yard ornament is not included in the magazine but the directions are given along with an illustration. There are as usual a number of patterns to send away for, and some tantalizing glimpses of Christmas projects that will be in the October issue. Free download (pdf or individual pages) at the Antique Pattern Library.
