Vintage 1930s Scrapbook Newspaper Quilt Patterns Laura Wheeler For Sale

Up for your consideration is a fascinating, historically rich vintage 1930s Depression-era newspaper craft clipping scrapbook. This thick, homemade volume is bound in a striking multi-patterned patchwork fabric cover and is completely filled with rare clipped columns from mid-century publications, including the Des Moines Tribune. Inside, you will find extensive illustrated guides, yardage requirements, and layout instructions for classic syndicated needlework lines such as Laura Wheeler Designs. Featured contents include highly sought-after block layouts like the Star Upon Star, Rose Arbor, and Snowball quilts, alongside iron-on embroidery transfers, cross-stitch sampler designs, and old-fashioned fabric toy doll patterns. Please note that this book is being sold as-is due to a detached spine that has separated from the side of the pages, though the interior newsprint contents remain together. The interior paper exhibits heavy age-appropriate toning, yellowing, and fragile edges typical of early pulp newsprint. Please check all the images carefully, as we have provided detailed angles of the piece under normal and alternative lighting, and see photos for accurate depiction of condition.
