The 1940’s charm of redwork stitchery and well-known "Kitty Homemaker" motifs are now combined to create whimsical projects with an old-fashioned feel. Bestselling author Nancy J. Martin presents Kitty Homemaker patterns of days past in fifteen vintage blocks, each embroidered in classic redwork style and framed by traditional patchwork. Includes:

• Fifteen 6" blocks featuring Kitty performing her daily tasks: block themes include Quilt, Shop, Cook, Wash, Iron, Sew, Sweep, and Rest

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic Needlework for Cat Lovers, June 15, 2000

This review is from: Kitties to Stitch & Quilt: 15 Redwork Designs (Paperback)

This book will take you back to the days when your mom's dishcloths were all decorated with embroidery. It was made for redwork lovers, but may also be done in a variety of colors. Make a quilt, decorate a tote bag or take yourself back to the thirties and make a dishcloth like Grandma used to. You'll want to make each pattern.
