. . . My Inking Journey made while participating in Barbara Brackman's Antebellum BOM in 2018 . . .
. . . and Chimney Sweep with Leaves my version of a favorite quilt in the book Remember Me by Linda Otto Lipsett?
Well, the *News Flash" is that both quilts are in Barbara's new book Divided Hearts: A Civil War Friendship Quilt by C&T Publishing. Thank you, Barbara, I am truly honored!
My blocks with inked drawings and names of my gr-gr-grandparents appear throughout the book. Here is one.
And there are instructions for making a Chimney Sweep quilt like mine :)
In addition, contributors Denniele Bohannon, Becky Brown, Mark Lauer, and Patricia Styring made some awesome quilts so when you have a minute go to Amazon and take a 'look inside' this beautiful book. Be inspired!
Enjoy your week!

How fun, I'll be looking for this book for my wish list. I have the "Remember Me" book and have used that book for my inspiration for at least one quilt.

how wonderful! what a big honor and well deserved. I'll look forward to seeing it in the book!
ReplyDeleteJust have to add this book to my list! How fabulous for you and I can see why Barbara included your work - the inking you do is so well done and how you choose fabrics with stripes and other fussy cuttings makes everything sing. Remember Me was one of the first quilt history books I ever purchased and it is a classic.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is fantastic. Your quilts are always so wonderful now they can be shared with lots of quilters. Everyone is going to love seeing your beautiful inkinga.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, so happy for you. I will be looking for that book!
