A quick Hello
I return tomorrow to Utah and am looking forward to getting back to my sewing machine once more.
Thought I would share this neat pattern for a familier block done in CW fabrics.

Civil War Quilt LInks
I thought it would be fun to share some links about the Civil War times when I find a good one.
This one is about quilts that were used to raise money during and probably after the war.

November's Blocks
New blocks once again due to be finished on November 4 and we will be meeting at Marianne's home.
This month's blocks are numbers,
20: Sorrows of War
90: A Consoling Thought
136: Runaway Slave
136: Camp Conditions
156: Incompetent Officers
268: Home Sweet Home
Peggy shared the story from Home Sweet Home as Richard Adams came home as a prisoner of war and told us about her father who also had been a prisoner of war during WWII.
October's meeting at Peggy's
WE had a wonderful October meeting at Peggy's and missed Christina but I am sure she is have a good time in Florida!
Peggy served us a lovely light lunch of homegrown salad, finger sandwiches and some cantaloupe shared with us from Arlene of the New Friend's Day group! YUM!
First of all we did our next group of 6 blocks instructions with Peggy. You can tell Peggy loves stars with her block choices!
She also gave us a transfer for our first Abe Lincoln block and a cd with more images for us to choose from if we wish. Cathie mentioned wanting to find an image of Jefferson Davis who was president of the Confederacy if possible to add to her quilt and she is planning on sharing that when she does.
We next did a show and tell of our completed blocks and it is so fun to see how fabric choices sometimes makes our blocks so different from each other once again.
