Four years later, she was elected president of the York Quilters Guild in Pennsylvania, and also began four years of employment in a quilt shop. Within a few months, Roberta was teaching classes at the shop and eventually took over the quilting classes for the adult education program. While working in the quilt shop, Roberta restored antique quilts in response to requests from customers.

Dozens of feathered wreaths, curved vines, folk art hearts, and lovely flowers will provide countless ideas and inspiration for your next quilted projects.

LOVELY DESIGNS, but.........,
By
This review is from: Antique Quilting Designs (Paperback)
the books is extremely cumbersome to use and not very practical in time saving by today's standards. One cannot put the page needed on a light box because there are patterns and pictures on the same paper opposite page. It is a tightly bound 8 1/2" x 11" and it is difficult to use in a scanner. Designs are sometimes pictured on two pages which means one has to cut and tape if a scanner is used. If a quilter does not have a scanner, she/he is left to draw out all of the designs, which is extremely time consuming. Ms. Benvin would have a 5 star book if she could offer convenience in the same package, such as one side printing and spiral binding to make the book easy to use. Her designs and research are tops, however. Thank you!

ACTUAL EARLY QUILTING DESIGNS FROM PA.,
By Judiostudio (Ringoes, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antique Quilting Designs (Paperback)
This is a book of the actual quilting designs mostly taken from quilts ofthe Pennsylvania Germans; the Lutherans and Reformed church members, not the plain people. I believe all of these designs came from York County. One nice thing is that the author pictures the quilts from which she has taken the designs. She also shows other items of the culture which use the same kind of designs. In particular I adore the Pieced Double Irish Chain quilt, circa 1840 which I love the book, and have used at least one design from it already. It fits Highly recommended for hand quilters. judygrow
