Old-Time Nosegay - Leaflet No. 18

By Edith B. Crumb.

You Quilt Club Corner people must feel quite at home when you see the forget-me-nots as you have made so many of them in the large bouquets. You really have appliqued 72 of them and here are six more. There are six, because there is one cluster on one side border strip and a corresponding cluster on the other. Be sure to make "rights and lefts."

The three flowers are identical in shape. The variation in appearance comes from the overlapping. That means that one pattern will do for the three flowers.

When it comes to the coloring, these forget-me-nots ought to be developed in pink and blue, but you may use figured material if you desire. It is wise to repeat the same coloring but to vary the prints in the two borders.

Now that you have such a good start on the border there is nothing to tell you about cutting, basting, sewing or pressing and by now you should find this appliquing very simple to do.

Women who like to make things will gain a wealth of valuable information and suggestions through reading the Women's Pages every day in The Detroit News - The Home Newspaper
