Granny's Box : The Story of Mollie Franklin Hensley (by Sandy Laws)

Stitching Patterns

Granny’s Box contained several designs that were cut out and traced onto paper for areas between quilt blocks. Carbon paper was placed between the paper and the material using a pencil or a tracing wheel. These patterns were used to make beautiful stitching designs in the quilts.

Here is a sample of tracing on a Double Wedding Ring Quilt made by Mollie Franklin Hensley.
