Sentimental Stitches

It's a beautiful day here in TC. The sun is shining. There's a beautiful breeze. It is supposed to get pretty warm today but that's what we've all been waiting for. I have today and tomorrow off from work so I hope to catch up on things I've been pushing aside but I am going to spend some time stitching.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the blocks from the Sally Post Floral Sampler quilt. I'm uploading the blocks in groups of six blocks so when you open a file you can print off the ones you need. I hope that works okay for everyone. The fabric requirements are on the quilt's block of the month page.
The blocks will be available until the morning of June 9. After that time I'll go back to the block of the month format for the quilt. The entire collection of patterns will also be in the Online Store if you want to purchase them as a group.

Here we are with the most important block in the Sally Post Floral Sampler quilt. It's the signature block. I am so thankful Sally took the time to intricately cross stitch her name, age and date on this block. It gives us so much to think about. What was life like in 1854? I'm sure she was an experienced quilter at age 63. It appears as if fabrics were purchased with this quilt in mind. How much did fabric cost in 1854? Was it readily available? Maybe not if red prints had to be substituted. I think I'll do a little more research. I'm not ready to close the book on our Applique in May quilt.
