Lancaster Rose Quilt Pattern. From Best Loved Quilt Patterns Series by Oxmoor House Inc. Pattern number 64280A.
From the introduction (Above the pattern’s picture):
“The name of this quilt pattern commemorates the fifteenth century British Wars of the Roses. In this conflict the Lancasters were symbolized by a red rose and their enemies, the Yorks, by a white rose. Perhaps it is because the Lancasters won that there is no “York Rose” quilt pattern”..
According to the instructions, this pattern will produce a quilt that measures 74.5 by 106.5 inches consisting of 13.5 by 13.5 inch squares.
I would imagine if you’d like a larger (or smaller) quilt, just adjust the amount of blocks to make.
The pattern and templates offered in this listing are designated in the “Applique” category. You will receive the brochure which tells the sizes, fabric requirements, amount of pieces to cut, and instructions for piecing your quilt. You will also receive the actual templates that are the exact size needed to cut all the pieces of material. The template is made of a harder, yet flexible plastic.
This pattern has never been used. If you receive templates that appear to have been cut out, that's because when first mailed out, templates for 2 or more quilts may have been imprinted on one 8 by 12 inch template sheet. To provide you with just the templates that you'll need for making this quilt, I had to separate them from unrelated templates.
About the series:
This is one of probably a hundred quilt patterns that I will be listing. These patterns were part of a monthly subscription series. Each month, the recipient would receive a pack of 3 different patterns. It took several years to obtain the complete set.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Mail parcel delivery charges of $4.95. Mailing is from Arizona.
A PERSONAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS ….
The shipping charges are set by the U.S. Postal Service.
Here’s the reason for the high charges….. Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become more profitable.
On top of the three increases, the postal service has now divided the nation in to 8 postal zones. Each time a package crosses into another zone, the price increases. I am in Arizona, so most all of my shipments pass through multiple zones.
It's a 10 year plan that the postal service started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases of shipping charges each year. I fear seeing what the costs will be at the end of the plan. …..
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
