Last month with some friends I swap with the challenge was to cover a journal and make tags using paint chips, ya know like you get from the hardware store. So I decided to bend the rules a bit and just make a journal out of the chips. I have...

Last year I posted scans of 20 little girls from this undated vintage paint book by Mary Alice Stoddard, and I mentioned that I would also upload 20 images of little boys from the same book. I forgot all about this until yesterday, when I received an email from Wanetha, who included a photo of an adorable doll quilt she made using one of the little girl illustrations. Wanetha's embroidered quilt is 22 x 24 and is tinted with both Crayola crayons and Prismacolor pencils. I love the colors she used, the addition of the rick-rack, and the adorable doll fabric for the border. Thank you so much, Wanetha, for allowing me to share your cute quilt. It is always exciting for me when a quilter or embroiderer creates something from my old books or transfers. Now, finally, here are the boy illustrations from the book -- click to see full-sized images.

This is one of my very favorite vintage paint/coloring books -- I love the subject and the style of the drawings by Mary Alice Stoddard. The best pictures are of boys and girls doing everyday activities -- like quilting! Because there are 20 girls and 20 boys, you could make two darling little quilts. I haven't decided how I'm going to do this embroidery -- redwork would be very cute, but crayon with embroidery would be nice, as well. What I would really like to do is multi-colored embroidery with some appliqued details using vintage fabric. I am so pleased to finally get these cleaned up to share, and I hope my stitchy friends like them as much as I do. Click on the thumbnail images to make them full size.

Art Deco illustrations are some of my favorites, and this old paint book is full of them. It was published by Whitman, and although it is not dated, it's pretty clear that these images are from the 1920s. I am going to be taking a blog break for the next few weeks, and plan to be back in September. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer.
This is the largest coloring book I own -- 492 pages and only a few are colored. Coloring books from the 30s and 40s rarely have a theme, and the drawings are usually done by several different artists. It seems like Whitman and other publishers would just combine a group of pages by various artists, and then release a new coloring book with a different cover. I have several coloring books published in different years that contain some of the same pages. Not that I'm complaining -- I love these old books and this is one of the best. Today I have chosen several pages that I think may be early Eloise Wilkin drawings. Elliott and Emily loved the Golden Books We Help Mommy and We Help Daddy illustrated by Wilkin, but I could be wrong about these coloring book images -- artists are not credited in these old coloring books, so it's hard to know for sure. I just think they look like Wilkin -- what do you think?

Mr. Green wants to go on strike from his job in Paint Town as the painter of the leaves, bushes, and all things green.

A court trial is scheduled and the Ruling is a contest between Mr. Green and the Primary Color family to see who will rule Paint Town. Come find out who will rule the land and if Mr. Green will take his color away. Paint Town Tales: The Draw (Volume 1) by Amy Arton is a charming educational children's book which introduces young readers to the concepts of color, and the importance of teamwork and friendship.
