A Prairie Journey by Kathleen Tracy (Book)

Inspired by yesterday’s traditional blocks and today’s reproduction fabrics, the author of the bestselling Small and Scrappy returns to share more petite quilts with ties to the past. Thirteen designs whisk readers back to an era when the time-honoured quilt blocks today’s quilters love were just making their debut. Stitch projects with names such as Wagon Wheels, Crossing the Prairie, and Aunt Sarah’s Scrap Baskets, or make a Tree of Life friendship quilt featuring blocks autographed by family members. Vintage photos and the words of pioneer women from the mid-nineteenth century, a time when quilting offered a welcome respite from the hardships of moving westward, are sprinkled throughout. Petite patchwork and appliqué projects welcome scraps and are a cinch to complete. 80 Pages.
