Just Sew Simple Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Is there such a thing as a 30s style panto. I know my grandmother's old quilts had cherries quilted on them and the Baptist Fan. What others were used back then - I know, I know they didn't call them pantos, ha! I was just trying to play ahead and You all know I can't do custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 The ones I can remember from my grandmother had cross hatching. I know not a panto, but that is all I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 How about clam shells? Personally, I love the Baptist Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 X - Hatching, Baptist Fan, and clamshells, the 1/4 outline, SID. Mostly the 1/4 outline is what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here's a link to a page from Hart Cottage quilts. It shows a page from the Ladies Art Company from the 1920's and it is a continuous line pattern. http://www.hartcottagequilts.com/ladies%20art%201934/18a.jpg Hart Cottage also has some interesting information about early machine quilting.

Just Sew Simple Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Actually. my master's degree is in textiles with a minor in art. Can you believe. It is just "The History of Textiles" was not one of my favorite subjects. I also hated the history of costumes. I gobbled up everything, however. Thanks for the help and the link.

AnnHenry Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sylvia, I am so envious of you for having studied textiles. When I went to college, I had no idea that there was anything available like studying textiles. The only options for women that I knew about were teaching or nursing. If you were interested in sewing, you became a home ec teacher. I studied music, but I would have minored in textiles had I known about such a thing.

VictoriaG Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Janet, Your link shows a 12 inch circle feather pattern for 40 cents! In 1920 that was probably a lot. WOW. vg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Can you make your own? The 30's prints have cute pictures that you could probablly use at least for charm quilting-Copyright issues? Why not draw your own using the cherries etc. for inspiration?
