Quilting Scrapbook

Spider Web Quilting Design ~ I found this design in my 1930’s quilting scrapbook. Perfect for Halloween or a bug quilt, the design printed out from the PDF file below measures close to 6 x 6 inches.

It’s suggested that the cobweb pattern be perforated, which is probably simpler than making a stencil. To do this, stitch carefully along the dotted lines without the sewing machine threaded in a medium long stitch.

You can then use colored stamping powder or chalk to lightly dust over the perforated pattern. Make sure you place the smooth side up. Also leave several inches of paper margin around the pattern to keep the powder from getting onto the rest of the quilt.

A note from the 1930s: If stamping powder is not available, ground cinnamon will do just as well. When the quilting is done, every trace of the cinnamon will brush off (not to sure about that). Light pencil marks can be used as well.
