Although i know the travel west was by wagon, i never really thought about what that actually entailed. This is my cup of tea and look forward to this 21st century journey. My daughter was born in Kansas, so this will be for her.

Amazing sights, but believe me, if those women had any "extra" time, the last thing they would be doing is stitching quilts. After finding water and hauling it to the wagon, finding materials to build a fire, and looking after the children, there was no time or energy left for stitching. If you could see some of the trail -- rough, rocky, dusty.. and the hills they had to deal with. The Barlow Road near Government Camp, Oregon, gave me nightmares.Sallyhttp://sallyschneider.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-71718789548579278232016-01-27T05:21:53.357-06:002016-01-27T05:21:53.357-06:00What a wonderful tribute to these brave women........What a wonderful tribute to these brave women.....<br />Thank you Barbara.

I love that about you. Born and raised in Canada, I do not know much about the Covered Wagon trail except that it did happened. I am sure it was no walk in the park and no picnic either. Nevertheless, I am ready with my humble little baggage and a pillow. (I hear those wagons didn't have good shocks and it was a pretty joltingly ride. ;^)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-66882602572353193782016-01-26T14:54:27.357-06:002016-01-26T14:54:27.357-06:00You are so generous with your time and knowledge. ...You are so generous with your time and knowledge.

In common with Raewyn (lovely Kiwi name!)from above please don't assume that we all know a lot about the topic. Some of us will be really keen to learn the real history and will very much appreciate not having that fake history thrust upon us to confuse matters. Maybe by tomorrow the roads will be cleared sufficient for a modern day car trip.

I made a quilt for a special exhibit at our statewide show in 2003. I am going to post it on my blog today along with the story written out on each block (which few will read since it is 1,651 words long). I am looking forward to starting yet another "sew-a-long with Barbara".
