Description
Made in 1863 during the American Civil War by Jane A Blakely Stickle (1817-1896), this sampler quilt is made up of 169 miniature blocks. As a reminder of the turbulent times the country was going through, she carefully embroidered “In War Time 1863” into one corner of the quilt. Each block will measure 4″ x 4″ once finished and consists of pieced blocks and applique blocks. The outer border is made up of triangles and corner kites, everyone a different design!
During the year, you will be provided with all of the patterns and in class we will work through them with hints and tips for you to achieve all, or as many as you wish, within the course. There is no pressure to complete this quilt in the year – it is a big undertaking – and therefore designed for the more experienced quilter.
