I began my version of the civil War Quilt by Jane Stickle in
2008. It was that year when, quite
unexpectedly, I had to opportunity to stand in front of the original while
travelling in the Northeast.
By late November, 2014, it was a flimsy and hung in the
closet with its backing band binding fabrics waiting for me to get the courage
to quilt it. I decided this year that I
would rather have someone else tackle it, and finally it is a finished quilt!
Many friends gave me batik scraps to use in its
construction. The quilt is so large, the
only picture I have of it, so far, was taken when I unveiled at last week’s
Guild meeting.
