So the post is/was suppose to be about my WIP's and 30's so here we go............
I am a 1930's reproduction junkie....I have a gazillion projects made from 30's repros. Here is one I started using no pattern, just my own applique shape. The blocks are 6.5 inches. I have done at least 30 different fabrics for the dog...just pictured a few here. Now I just need to come up with a setting for them. Love them 'scotties. Cracker box block...this one I am foundation paper piecing. I have all the fabrics cut, just not all sewn yet.
A mini Dresden plate using English paper piecing. I love this pattern but again --stuck on the setting.
Ahhh and my one-patch....I started this about 10 years ago. My husband and I were on our first trip to Ohio to meet his family. I only owned about 15 - 1930's repros then...ah this IS the quilt that started this whole mess. I have about 1000 hexagons ready to be pieced. I hope to finish it within 10 years LOL!!!!

OMG I love that hexagon quilt. That is to die for. Love all of them but that one!!!!! OMG!!!!
I'm sorry to hear that your quilt shop trip did not work out. Good luck with a new cleaning person!! I love all your projects and share your love with 30's fabrics. They are fantastic!! There is a couple of wonderful FREE patterns on P & B Textiles that you can download. They are 30's quilts. I especially like the one named Dot to Dot.
I LOVE your WIPs.. especially your hexagons.. I too have been working on a hexagon quilt forever (ok 4 years but it seems like forever).. I can't understand how people can't like 30's??? whats not to like? they all go together, and they are just too cute! 90% of my stash is 30's.. I am doing a miniature dresden too, ten petal 3" finished, I have about 30 done, just waiting to be appliqued.. you could always set them on point??? or just send them to me, I am always happy to adopt orphan blocks, tops and quilts.. LMAO

I love these all... but especially love the mini Dresden! What delicious eye candy you taunt me with Vickie
Love all of your WIPs! I have a cupcake quilt that needs to be quilted. I did finish up a quilt last weekend, from a freebie pattern online at Quiltmaker (Afternoon Tea) I'm going to give it to my MIL for her b'day this month. Started another last night with the same pattern, a girly girl quilt for me, with the A Henry line of lingerie fabric & polka dots & stripes in pastels. It's gonna be too cute! LOL
