Two Kinds of Patches Used in This Charming Pattern

By Edith B. Crumb

If there is one quilt that is fascinating to look at, and to make it is the Diamond-Hexagon, and in the accompanying illustration is shown a small section which will give you an idea of its attractiveness.

It seems as it everyone at one time or another must have had a quilt from this pattern in her family. It used to be made up ok silks and velvets and when you realize that there are just two pieces to the pattern one a diamond and the other are just two pieces to the pattern, one a diamond and the other a hexagon you will realize how easy it is to make.

One way you look at it the cubes formed by three diamonds seem to stand right out so rhat tou can pick them up; but it is all in the way the patches are arranged and I know that you will enjoy making a quilt from this pattern.

If you wish this leaflet just sent your address with five cents in postage to the Public Service Bureau of the Detroit News. Be sure to include the catalog number, ID32, and it with any four other leaflets will be mailed to you unfolded to fit in the news covers.

Or, if you prefer, you may call for the leaflet in person at The Detroit News Service Bureau in the main building of The Detroit News at Second and Lafayette boulevards, or at the branch offices in the majestic or the General Motors Building.

This is the kind of a quilt pattern that is just right for patch exchanging for it takes so many kinds to make it and there may be all colors and patterns, as long as they are small. Do not try to use large floral designs in this kind of quilt.

Asks for Patch
Dear Miss Crumb: I am writing to ask if I might have one of those Lazy Daiisy patches. I get a lot of enjoyment out of the new family which has been introduced and like the illistrations. I presume I am a member of the Club as I sent in a membership bank over a year ago. I have met some lovely ladies through the Corner and have meant to have them all come to my home some day but illness has prevented this.

I enjoyed the letters I received through the Corner as I am from Ohio and for a long time after moving here I was very lonely. I was especailyl happy to receiv a letter from a lady in Canada. I have eight quilt tops finished, also an afghan and pillow to match and now I am making crocheted rugs. I am so glad the radio hour has been changed for I can always listen in now.

So many like this hour so much better that I am glad it has been changed to the afternoon. You certainly are a member of the Quilt Club Corner Mrs. Tarner. Your card shows that you joined on January 3, 1935. It must have been one of your New Year's resolutions and if you resolved to make quilts you certainly must have kept your promise with all of those tops to your credit.

Lazy Daisy was certainly delighted to know that you wanted one out to you. Her patches have been so popular that she has had to buy more material. But she does not care how many write for them. Every request means a new friend to her and that just suits our Lazy Daisy.

Looks for Corner
Dear Miss crumb and Quilt Club Members: I want to tell all of you how I enjoyed the beautiful quilts. This is the first show I ever went to and I didn't expect to see half as many quilts and such a variety.

Last winter I made and quilted three. One was the House quilt and another a large Bow Tie, while the third one I cannot name. I have eight news patterns. The last one is the Dutch Windmill. I think that is the prettiest.

The first think I look for in the paper is the Quilt Club Corner although I have no joined yet. Miss Crumb, will you...(clipping cut-off)
