Hospital Sketches: Applique BOM Quilt

Janet Olmstead's Hospital Sketches 1-6

Meanwhile over at one of my other blogs....

Every year we do a free block-of-the-month quilt based on tradition over at the Civil War Quilts blog. This year it's applique---Nine very fashionable album blocks seen in the 1840-1865 period. I just posted Block #7 on the last Wednesday of July. Two more to go.

Maureen's #5 with a little addition

I am very pleased with all the photos that stitchers have been posting.

Becky Brown and I worked on this together. 

Roseanne Smith

We encourage the stitchers to make it their own

by adding and subtracting elements.

Several have been adding birds like Heidi did.

They post pictures on the Facebook Group

page and on their own blogs. I do a little digital

fixing, mostly squaring up the picture and correcting the

color. Gladi's color is hard to capture in a photo.

It seems that people are looking for traditional applique designs---not that they all want to do them in traditional fashion.

I'm plotting another Civil War applique for about a year from now. I've got to get Becky and the model makers some patterns!

Here's our Facebook Group. Ask to join and you'll get in. You can just lurk and never sew.
