Social Media Sites: Antebellum Album Quilts

Me (or a close facsimile)

Trying to be more with-it lately I have been doing
some social mediating or whatever the proper verb is.

Here are some sites to post pictures from the quilt-alongs we've been doing:

Block 1: Wandering Lover
Judy C is using all Kaffe

Pinterest page I am using to keep track of links to each monthly block:

Lizzie at LittleJewelQuilts

Instagram: The tag: #antebellumalbumquilt

NC Gleason

Facebook page just for this project

And that page has a group, a select group. You request to join; I approve your request and I will try to do that quickly:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/799666626885682/

You can also search other people's pages by using the tag
#antebellumalbumquilt


Cathy at Big Lake Quilting

Flickr Group Civil War Quilts

Dorry ColvinKiwi

And just post them on your own blogs with the words
Antebellum Album Quilt and I can find them by doing a web search,
which is how I found some of these.

I keep a list over on the left here on this blog page but if you
view the posts as an email or on your phone you don't see that left hand column.

I love this photo I saw in an online auction.
 She looks perfectly set up for winter. 
  • Lots of warm clothing.
  • A good chair.
  • A sewing table well equipped. 
  • An interminable hand project to keep those arthritic fingers moving.
  • And some books behind her for later.
If she had a dog snoozing under the sewing table it would be perfect.

What a fabulous photo! It looks a lot like my great aunt Etta although she was almost always smiling. She lived to be 104 so I think smiling through life really does help. I love all these blocks! Thanks for the links to all the social media sites. I saw Barbara Schaeffer's on her Blog this morning ( http://barbaradschaffer.blogspot.com/2018/02/wandering-lover-think-of-me.html ) and it is sensational too! Hope I can get mine done before the next one is published!

I love your quilting lady -- a role model for the rest of us!
I'm trying to get going on your social media opportunities. (Sigh.)

I compared the two photos hoping the quilter had cheered up after she saw all the lovely renditions of block 1 from the Antebellum Album. Alas, she had not. Hopefully Judy C has all the Kaffe fabric she needs since we may be in for a shortage. Thanks for including my block in this post. I'm off to the Mid Atlantic Quilt Fest next week hoping to see some Barbara Brackman BOM quilts.
