An advertisement for the Three Little Maids quilt pattern.
In Sunbonnets
The three little Maids Quilt ID 24 is charming for a little girl's room. The block designs include, besides this little maid sprinkling her garden, another sunbonnet girl walking with a parasol and one all dressed up in her best Sunday clothes. These blocks are alternated with flower designs.

This is a good pattern for the quilter who likes to embroider for the designs can be done in outline stitch with special touches in embroidery. If preferred, the whole quilt can be made in applique.

Leaflets are one cent each if called for At the Detroit news General Motors or Majestic Building.
