A portion of a Quilt Club Corner and Thread and Thimble Club. This column includes a new quilt pattern called Pot of Tulips.

Another Fascinating Pattern
"Pot of Tulips" Will Look Well in Detroit News Quilt Show
Here is another charming, spring like pattern to help you get ready for The Detroit News Quilt Show. Remember the dates- April 16,17 and 18.

It's called the Pot of Tulips and can be made in a veritable rainbow of colors if you wish. Or, you may choose a more limited color scheme and stick to that.

If you send for this pattern now, Leaflet ID 56, you'll have plenty of time to make it for the show.

Every if you can't finish the entire quilt, you can at least enter the top.

The Pot of Tulips promises to be one of the most popular new patterns in the coming show. The blocks are fairly simple, nothing at all complicated about putting them together and yet the design as a whole will be exceedingly handsome.

Here is a single block of the new quilt pattern. The Pot of Tulips, reduced in size, of course with one corner shown, at left, of the finished quilt.

This new quilt block is just one of the several flower pattern when have been planned for the 1937 Quilt Show.

Last Sunday three other patterns were announced. All were geometric designs, they were called Sweet and Low (on Leaflet ID-54) Log Cabin, one of the well-known old timers (on Leaflet ID 55) and Spring Garden (on Leaflet 53) a conventional design which suggests a conventional flower.
