Vintage Pattern Hoard

Saturday evening my mum phoned to say she had a present for me. Having been to visit Nicks mum, Grandma Sheila for for 86th Birthday, they were returning home with a big box of vintage patterns for me. Sheila kindly let me have the fantastic collection of patterns, she has amounted over the years.

Thank you Sheila, I have been hoping that someone would have some tucked away and realise I will put them to good use. About half of the patterns are pre 1971, the price is printed on them and in 1971 our money switched to the decimal system. I am very excited to give some a try. There was also a tracing wheel and paper in the stash, lucky me.
