Craft Book: Calico Patch Painting
by Merlene Taylor
1975 Craft Course Publishers
16 Pages

Anyone who knows real country living can tell you tales about women folk's ways of using every scrap of fabric. Why, they've got ideas that could fill a book! And you'll find more than a couple of them here.

A little glue and some fabric squares is all it takes to "patch paint" an item. And if you're clever with needle 'n thread, you'll love the stuffed patchwork chicks you can whip up. We call them our "calico cuties". There's also how-to's for country style shirt appliques to please the young-at-heart. So don't be surprised if anyone should say, that with a little country know-how, your extra patches will go a real long way.

The first half of this book contains "patch painting" which is a technique by which a project is covered with squares of colorful fabric. Almost anything can be patch painted for the popular patchwork effect. This is a favorite pastime for the glue-pot artist.

The second half is for the nimble-fingered crowd who love to stitch a fine seam and whip up unique creations with calico-plus personality!
