Hello, I am Regina from Germany! My husband brought me from California (he visited our daughter) some FQ from the serie "Charleston V". When I found your blog today at once I thought: that's it! The first block is nearly ready! I think it is a great idea from you, thank you! Much love from Regina
dear barbara,i love your idea very much,and i am proud to be within,i think just we women can avoid those wars,if we really want to,thanks a lot,susi http://susisquilts.blogspot.com/
What a fantastic idea!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the CW history and its Patchwork!! This will be my BOW (Block of The Week) for 2011! Greetings from Italy!!! Agatha
Thank you, Barbara. I knew I wanted to make something to commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial and this is perfect. I made the first block and posted it on my blog.
Wasn't going to start anything new untill ufos started shrinking. But love your civil war narration and of course I had to join. Have already done the first block and am looking forward to the next. Don't know if I'm going to mix up colors or stick with my first block palette which is madder browns. Will wait to decide. Thanks for your gift.
I'm joining in too...just love the CW block and everything I can learn about the history of the blocks.. I'm wondering if anyone is keeping a uniform background fabric.. Julia ♥
Love the new blog. I am such a fan of yours and the work you have done in the quilt world. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog - you will never know how thrilled I was!!! Sheila Holland
Thank you. I love genealogy and quilting so appreciate your work in this area. I finished my block and posted it on my blog and I am looking forward to more stories and blocks.
I bought some fabric during an end-of-bolt sale thinking I would do some type of sampler. The fabrics are not reproduction/Civil War, but it will be a fun challenge to do 52 blocks over the year. Thanks!
Here's my post on my block: http://spinningstar.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/a-civil-war-quilt-sampler/
Thank you for this new blog. It is a great opportunity for me to learn some American history. I love seeing all the blocks everyone has made so far. I made my block a couple of days ago and there is a photo on my blog. I have used The Morris Workshop fabrics for my block.
This is going to be a wonderful project to follow this year. Thank you so much. I am thrilled that Tazzie directed me to this blog. I have the first block completed!
Just stumbled in...love this and will follow this project all year. Thank you for sharing the block and the history story. Very interesting quilt along/read along!
I love your blog and and am very interested in Civil Way history. I have finished my first block and will put it up on my blog tonight. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for this! I loved the first block, finished it yesterday, and can hardly wait for the next one. This one is on my calendar, scheduled in for every Monday! I'm looking forward to the new line of fabric, too.
What a wonderful project to look forward to this year! A trip to the quilt shop for your new fabric line is a must.....Looking forward to each week's new block and the story that accompanies it! Thank you!
I am not a quilter, but I have the greatest admiration of the craft! I am an avid reader of history and will continue to follow your blog to acquire more Civil War stories and admire the quitling!
Thank you so much for doing this! I've done BOMs in the past but was so bored...I think a BOW will be FUN!! I've made my first block...although not in civil war prints...but from my stash...need to bust that stash down! :) Either this quilt will be a stunning quilt or an ugly one! ha! Husband said he would take an ugly one since there aren't ugly quilts out there. :) Again, thank you!
This will be so wonderfully fun and I'll try to keep up. Wish there was a place for everyone to put their block pics, I love seeing fabrics others are using. Thank you for sharing the history stories, really like that part too.
Found you earlier in the week. Have mentioned and linked you in my blog. Have made 2 blocks - one by hand, one by machine. This looks like it will be a fun little quilt-along! Thanks for all you do to make the history come to life! I love it! Jayne http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/
This is a wonderful blog! Thank you, Barbara. I will follow regularly and try to sew some of the blocks too! My first one (I minimized it little, it's 61/2") is ready now and I'll put the photo of it to my blog. Winter greetings from Finland!
I have also made Block #1 and I'm doing Block #2 today. I have some material that I have been hoarding for a long time that will work out well in this project. BTW, this is first internet block project that I have joined. Only wish I knew how to post pictures.
What a wonderful blog. I found it by researching Columbia. Thank you for posting the fabric with the Hail, Columbia music on it! If you have any images of Columbia I would be very grateful if you were to let me know of them. Your Liberty figure is interesting too--could possibly be Columbia, too. I wish you the best in your work and communicating with the public about it! (And as I am rather making a request, please do feel free to delete this comment and reply back channel--or indeed, not reply, as you see fit! I couldn't find an email for you.) All the best, Francis
