 Strawberry Garden
76" X 88"

I have only seen two examples of this strawberry pattern in my 40 years of collecting vintage quilts. I feel fortunate to own one of them. The beautiful and unique nine block version shown on the front cover dates to 1840 - 1860. I did a 4 block version for you if you’re looking to do a wall quilt.

Baltimore Baby
24" X 30"

I made a small wholecloth quilt for two reasons. My first grandchild, Grant, now 19, was born in 1990, and I decided he needed a baby christening quilt, and I needed an excuse to quilt a wholecloth quilt to maintain my small hand stitches.

PC 0104 - $9.00


The Battle of Blue Mills Landing c.1864
97" X 103"

This quilt was pieced c.1860 and is made with a fabric that has a cotton warp and a wool weft, and is called delaine. Women of the North and South loved the light weight of the fabric, which was warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

PC 0106 - $9.00


Charlottes Eagle Quilt
80" X 101"

This eagle pattern has appeared in numerous album quilts in the mid 19th century. Some were known to have been sewn in Ohio, Vermont, Pennsylvania and it has been difficult for quilt scholars to find the source of the original pattern.

W.C.T.U. - Womens Christian Temperance Union
63" X 72"

Quilt patterns such as “Double T” amd Temperance Tree” were pieced by the hundreds, demonstrating women’s disgust with the plague of uncontrolled alcoholism in America.

PC 0103 - $8.00

 
Hello Dollies
33" X 51 1/2"

These sweet doll patterns caught my heart and I named three of the dolls after my precious granddaughters, Claire, Maddie, and Gracie. The original pattern was called “Sisters”.

PC 0102 - $10.00


A Dressmakers Quilt
90" X 90"

In the last quarter of the 19th century, textile designers and mills printed realistic images on cotton that reflected the activitities and interests of a new generation. Small florals, kittens, dogs, horses heads...geometrics for women’s dresses, and aprons. The small prints enhance and support the designs of the blocks and borders, and replaces the plain and ordinary solid background fabric

Terry Clothier Thompson continues her association with Kansas City Star Quilt Books with "A Dusty Garden Grows" Here are some other titles.

Louisa May Alcott - Quilts of Her Life, Her Work, Her Heart

Louisa is best known for writing children’s stories and Little Women, but she was also very involved with the anti-slavery movement, rights for women, and served as a Civil War nurse. The heart of the book is the “Louisa” quilt. In this quilt there are nine “cameo” blocks that tell the story of Louisa and her family’s life in New England. Along with the “Louisa” quilt, the book contains patterns for three authentic soliders quilts and another magnificent appliqued quilt called “Concord, Mass.”
