Pan-American Redwork Patterns ; the full set: all the patterns from the six booklets in one larger volume

Between May and November 1901 Buffalo New York hosted a world's fair titled the Pan-American Exhibition. For most folks it is remembered as the place where President McKinley was shot.In quilting and Embroidery circles It is remembered for the Pan-American quilt blocks. Also know as redwork or penny squares These designs were sold pre-stamped on linen. Some of the designs sold at the exposition had been part of the Redwork embroidery catalog since the 1880's - some were more recent but created prior to the expositions opening like the Portraits of the new king and queen of England. President McKinley and Vice President Roosevelt. Some like the exhibition buildings were created Just for the fair. The Writing below the McKinley and Roosevelt blocks changed after McKinley was assassinated. Since the patterns were pre-stamped on linen those in later decades who wished to recreate some of the blocks had to look for quilts to trace a pattern from. The first five Pan-American pattern booklets are made from such later hand made tracings of quilt designs.
