Heirloom Baby Quilt from Martha Pullen

If you are a regular reader of Sew Beautiful magazine, you'll probably recognize this heirloom quilt project. It was featured in several issues.

You will have so much fun creating this beautiful baby blanket. If you are new to heirloom sewing you will also enjoy sewing it.

The book is sub-titled "A Beginners Project" because all you need is a basic knowledge of sewing and a zigzag sewing machine.

Unadvertised Sales!!!

If you don't already have Martha Pullen's Silk Ribbon Treasures and her Antique Embroidery book, here's your chance to pick them up on sale.

A "heads up" tip - In the past, the Martha Pullen Co. has discontinued publishing some of her classic books and patterns without any notice to the public. We usually don't learn about it until they are sold out and gone forever.

Silk Ribbon Treasures and Antique Embroidery are 2 of Martha's classic books. As far as we know, they are still in publication. However, they both have copyright dates prior to 1999. Based on past experience, I would recommend that you do not delay purchasing either of these books.

I repeat, we have not heard any news about how long these 2 books will be in publication. We just thought that maybe some of you, especially those who collect Martha's books, would like to be made aware.

We love all of Martha's books and and wish they all stayed in publication forever. If anybody wants us to post the copyright dates of any of Martha's other books that we carry, either write to us or click the comment link at the bottom of this post and write your question there.
