Civil War Heroine Barbara Frietchie has a Poem and Quilt Square in her Honor

Barbara Frietchie Quilt Block This is my Barbara Frietchie Quilt Square that I made 25 years ago. Ever since I heard about Barbara and read the poem written about her by John Greenleaf Whittier, I was taken by her story. Like most things that are from long ago, there is debate and doubters on the truthfulness of her story. But I believe! She has an honorable story and the men listened to her and respected her bold gall to honor her country even in the midst of Civil War battle. "Shoot if you must, this old gray head, but spare your country's flag; she said" Here above is some of my favorite Civil War fabric and the Barbara Frietchie Quilt Square that I made 25 years ago. It is framed up in a 12" x 12" wooden frame. Click on this link to hear the poem read out loud. Barbara's Images are of an older woman who appears to have lived a long and hard life. She must have had spunk and determination, to have survived the harsh...

1930's Bow Tie Fan Wall Hanging with Buttons

This Bow Tie Fan 1930's quilt is hanging in my quilt room. I found it in a local Portland Oregon antique store. I couldn't help myself, I had to have it! It is common to fine a Bow-Tie Quilt or a Fan quilt from this era. But to find a combination of the two, is a rare find. Also, to find a quilt this size, 3ft x 5 1/2ft, with button hangers, I knew it was originally meant for a hanging and not for everyday use on a bed. The 6 buttons are original 30's era and a fun detail of how it is to be displayed. The loops that are hand sewn onto the back and fastened in the front with a button is a perfect fit around a curtain rod. I found the perfect rod at Target of all places! It has glass door knobs at each end and compliment the age of this quilt. I usually long-arm quilt and repair the older quilts that I find. This one has blue yarn ties and I decided to leave it in the original state inste...
