I'm an easy mark. I was reading Lane's blog today, and he mentioned Barbara Brackman's 2016 Block of the Month. Curious, I clicked over to see what it was. And just like that, I'm hooked!!
It's called Westering Women, and what I love about it is that she includes anecdotes and illustrations about the westward journey on the overland trails in the 19th century. Throw in some reproduction fabrics and I'm LOVING it!
The first block is Independence Square. I have one directional print in there, so I had to unpick one seam where I wasn't paying attention, but otherwise, it went together quickly and easily.
I look forward to next month's block.
Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.
