Westering Women
Independence Square Today I made the first block for Barbara Brackman's Block-a-month Westering Women. It went together fairly easily, only needing the seam ripper once :-). I like reading the historical bits on her Civil War site and going to the links she provided. I have always enjoyed her books, especially Clues in the Calico and both volumes of America's Printed Fabric s. Both of her blogs are very informative. Now we have to wait a whole month for the next block, but I think I can find a thing or two to keep me busy until then. The colors on the photo don't look like the real thing; the blue is a dark navy blue and the white is actually yellow.
