Another publisher released a Crazy
Patchwork booklet for 25 Cents
S.H. Moore, established his publishing
business in 1879
and married
Myra Drake, who was active in music an literature. The Crazy Patchwork booklet was published by
S.H.
Moore, and
copyrighted in 1884 by G.W. Richardson and Co.
Richardson of Boston, Mass., published a monthly called Richardson’s
Musical Hours, established in 1876. Moore’s
magazines, The
Cricket
on
the Hearth and The Fireside at Home merged into The Ladies’ World,
which was sold to McClure in 1911.In 1886 S.H. Moore & Co. offered Stamping Outfits for free with a subscription to his publication The Fireside at Home and The Ladies’ World (ads in The Cultivator & Country Gentleman, 1886; and The Ladies’ Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, Vol 3-4, respectively).
The cover of the Crazy Patchwork booklet was used for the Crazy Work and Needle Art Show, managed by Mr. Fred Kyle, and held in the Horticultural Hall on March 16, 1885 in Boston, Mass.
A Crazy Patchwork Outfit was offered in the December 1885 issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal for 25 cents. The image in the ad is the same as the 1995 T.E. Parker booklet, Ornamental Stitches for Embroidery.
Strawbridge and Clothier ran ads in numerous publications for their 1884 Crazy Patchwork book, offered free to subscribers, or sold for 25 cents. The 1884 version has 6 full size block patterns, several that were also published by Weldon’s in their Practical Patchwork series. An ad in 1887 mentions 12 large full page transferable designs; but alas, I have not found that version yet.
Below are the Instructions for Crazy Patchwork found in this booklet:
