I enjoyed watching my mother, grandmother and great grandmother crocheting, embroidering and making quilts. I was looking up one of their old books to see if there was any resale value, and instead found myself collecting more. I felt like I was rescuing them.<br /><br />I couldn't resist old vintage crochet and knitting patterns and cookbooks. Of course I knew I couldn't make all of these old patterns and recipes. Most of them were musty and crumbling, so I started to restore and reprint the books. I now offer books and single patterns as reprints and PDF instant digital downloads so others can have access to them, too.<br /><br />Why not just offer them for free? Because it's a very costly hobby and I have to make a living. So for now it's my business, but some day I hope to release them all to the public.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.vintagehomearts.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4204776305218975344-931113413597271167?l=vintagehomearts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nancy Oramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06116160435788621557noreply@blogger.com0
