It was December 1929 - a period of reflection as the nation reeled from the stock market crash of the previous October. But it was a time of much-needed good cheer as well. So The Kansas City Star published, in 12 installments, a collection of delightful embroidery patterns called Santa's Parade. Although timed to Christmas, the Parade highlighted favorite nursery rhymes that remain popular today. Kansas City Star Quilts has again compiled the patterns, plus instructions, in this easy-to-understand project book. Here's everything you need to plan and create the Santa's Parade nursery quilt - a wonderful blend of childhood memories that will last for generations.

Santa's Parade of Nursery Rhymes,
By Mechelle O. Zuppann "book and quilt lover" (Battle Creek, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Santa's Parade of Nursery Rhymes: A Historic Redwork Quilt from The Kansas City Star (Paperback)
Santa's Parade of Nursery Rhymes is a delight for any embroidery and quilt enthusiast. Three Men in a Tub, Mother Goose, the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. Wonderful characters! How Santa fits in exactly? He's a tad eclectic. The patterns for both embroidery work and the sashing are easy to follow. I have made two versions of this quilt. The first in a deep burgundy red, and gave it away at Christmas to a librarian who was battling breast cancer. The finished product was beautiful. The second quilt, I used a deep aqua blue and substituted the Santa block with one of my own design from a nursery rhyme, Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess all went together to seek a bird's nest, which I will give to my daughter Elizabeth. Delightful book just to pour over, but the finished product will be something to take joy in.

This review is from: Santa's Parade of Nursery Rhymes: A Historic Redwork Quilt from The Kansas City Star (Paperback)
Inspiration comes from a variety of sources. This book is a source of inspiration for me.
I love redwork that has a feel of the 19th Century penny quilts. This book has patterns that fulfill that desire to recreate the look of the early 19th Century. Today's coloring books lack the charm of these early ones. I see potential for use in a variety of projects, not just a quilt.
