Settle down by the fire and thumb through these pages, finding out more about our First Ladies that graced the White House. You may chuckle over some little known facts! Then, pull out your sewing machine and stitch up some quilt blocks steeped in history.
About the First Ladies Quilt -
The charming setting for the First Lady Quilt is taken from an antique quilt made in the 1800's. All First Lady blocks are traditional, selected from Block Base, and Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Blocks by Barbara Brackman, 1993. Twelve inch and six inch sizes of blocks are provided, allowing opportunity for creativity. Two identical blocks are made at the same time, and placed on opposite sides of the quilt, making the quilt appear balanced. Instructions are included for an eagle and medallion center, as well as an on point, four block center.
