SynopsisBefore the 1940's, most eggs were produced on rural farms with small flocks that scratched their way around the barnyard. The farmer's wife was usually responsible for caring for her chickens and the money received from the sale of the eggs was hers. Surely, some fabric was purchased with this precious fund and from that came the quilt patterns uniquely associated with the Depression years of the 1930's. During a time of hardship in America, there were still many things for which to be thankful. Life was simple, people neighborly, and quilts not only useful but also an extraordinary expression of imagination. Journey back to the times when milk was 14 cents a quart and bread 9 cents a loaf.With over a year in planning, testing and writing, Quilt in a Day is delighted to announce Egg Money Quilts-A 1930's Vintage Sampler. Egg Money Quilts is not only a collection of twelve vintage quilt block patterns with two layouts, but also a treasury of extra projects created from the blocks. Join Eleanor as she guides you through her techniques to re-create the flavor of the good old days. The book contains over 200 pages, in full color, with sample quilts, step by step instructions and illustrations, yardage and cutting charts, and assistance in fabric selection.

Very well written Full of history
A MUST HAVE for any seamstress . Whether you quilt or just make small projects this is a must have in any one's sewing room. Very well written and beautifully illustrated. Full of stories and even an apron pattern is included. So easy to follow that even a novice can be happy with the results. Make a table runner or a purse using the template pattern. Read about the history of those that came before us. A feel good book even if you don't sew but can appreciate the beautiful art of quilting and sewing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not suited for beginners! Complicated and fussy instructions.
Fussy and complicated instructions make this book a poor choice for a beginner. I've been making quilts for many years and was hoping to pick up a few tips for authentic 1930's quilts. No such luck. I used to watch Eleanor Burn's public tv show and had high hopes for a great book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
