Celebrating 1200 Posts...

nd

I can hardly believe that I've written 1200 posts since I started my blog in March 2009. I've shared projects, memories, travels, life with some pretty cool pets and, of course, my loving husband of nearly thirty years. It's time to have a giveaway to commemorate another milestone.

  I've decided to offer a favorite book to one lucky reader.

This book is The Civil War Love Letter Quilt, and as

suggested by the title, it's filled with letters written between

people separated from their loved ones by the Civil War.

The author, Rosemary Youngs, has compiled many moving and heartfelt

correspondences from a painful time in our nation's history. Amid all the

fighting, there were many poignant personal stories.

Each letter and story has a full size quilt block to illustrate it, and

there are also quilt instructions and applique' patterns in the back.
I love reading my copy so much that I 

purchased a second copy to share with you.

It's one of those books that a great read, and I'm sure

you'll love it even if you're not a quilter!
