I now have all my crib and doll quilts moved into my new quilt research studio. Oh, it has been so much fun going thru them all as I move them.

| "Sunbonnet Lassies" based on a Marie Webster pattern. |

Only time I have ever seen the Duckling quilt (top left).
The pattern for the Duckling quilt first appeared in Farmer’s Wife 1934.
Wonder if it was made into a Kit quilt later? |

| Patriotic Overall Bill peeking thru in the pile. |

| Have never seen this Dancing Couple pattern before. |

| Sort, sort and re-sort. So much fun! |
I have to wear an industrial strength mask now as I work with the quilts due to my allergies. Gary says I look like I am from outer space. Don't like the imprint it leaves on my face but it sure beats stirring up my sinuses. Guess I'll have to get Gary to take a photo.
You can see a Ruby McKim Big Bad Wolf & Three Little Pigs crib quilt in that first photo. I have recently acquired another and will show it in the next blog post.
I am so very blessed to be doing what I love -- researching, writing and lecturing about quilt history!
