SUMMARY- These patterns were taken from "Hearth & Home" magazine, between the years 1907-1912(It began publication in 1868 and stopped in 1933). This was a very large quarto(folded like a newspaper) published on very cheap newsprint type paper, which does not stand up to the test of time. I have a lot of issues, and none of them are what I would call good shape. I've done what I can to preserve them as is, but they are in dire need of being digitalized sooner rather than later.
This book contains a block for all fifty states - though Alaska and Hawaii were originally published as patterns for territories, not states.
