Civil War Sampler in December

 
At Quilt Market this week we are showing off the new Civil War Sampler book based on this blog.
It's scheduled to arrive in shops mid-December. The cover is based on Becky Brown's quilt.
 
 
There are fifty patterns inside with stories and two versions of each block, here Becky's and Valerie's. The blocks are in different order from the blog and I switched out ten blocks so there are ten new stories and blocks...

Like Courthouse Square by Roseanne Smith
You can see more about the book at the publisher's webpage.
 
 
Click on the Google Preview button there and it will show you a preview.

Or you can see a preview at Google Books.



 
You may notice that the book is scheduled for delivery on December 10th. This may be a little late for holiday giving so I've made a certificate here that you could print out and put in an envelope, promising delivery---just in case.
 
 
Click on the photo and print or click on the PDF:
You could also copy the image and email a gift notice.

If you have a block in the book---we wrote for permissions so you may remember who you are---you'll get a free copy, but when I get that box of books and when they will arrive at your doors is an unknown.

I was really bad and didn't make the blocks last year, so I will need to buy the book--looks great!

How exciting! It was great to see examples of the book - it looks fabulous. And new blocks - Plus 12" instructions. It will have widespread appeal for sure.

The CW BOW project was my first sampler quilt - it expanded my piecing skills and encouraged me to keep improving. I can see many more sampler quilts in my future. And if they can be accomplished online even better. :-) I met so many wonderful quilters and loved every moment. Thanks so much to you, Becky and Dustin for such an enjoyable experience.

I hope you enjoyed the quilt market -- I saw a picture of Becky's quilt on the Fat Quarter Shop blog.

Hey Barbara, any chance of getting an autographed copy? I for one, would be happy to send one (with return postage) for you to sign. :)
