Has anyone read the book The Civil War Diary Quilt? Before I buy it is it worth buying either for the stories or the quilt patterns? thanks

I just sent you a private message, peach :D

i have the book, no patterns in it. the block must be traced for each section and seam allowance added. I am trying to figure out which quilting friend to send the book to as a present! the girl on the cover is the only one i really liked.

I've been working on that one and the civil war love letters...:)They are both fun and if it is something you want to do...then go for it. I do enjoy the letters and journals in them. I have the book and CD's...you could trace off the patterns from the book if you wanted, but, the CD makes life so much easier:)Skeat who classifies mine as a UFO right now...waiting for winter to work on them:)Too many project, not enough time...LOL

What are the titles of those books you mentioned? Could I find them at Barnes and Noble?

I decide to get The Civil War Diary Quilt on e-bay the seller has 10 on buy it now, it cost only $4.69 plus $3.99 shipping. Barnes and Noble sells it for over $20 There is another one The Civil War Love Letter Quilt from the same seller but that was around $15 I didn't buy it. I have a passion for the Civil War. If you want the item number for the e-bay book PM me and I will give it to you

thanks for the link Loretta

I have both books also, enjoy all info on Civil War as my husband had relatives in it. The books are interesting to read I believe. I have the CDs but have not looked at them yet, too much else to do right now.

so is there really true stories about civil war and quilts? ooooooooooo that would be awesome. I'll have to look for this book.

WOW! Thanks Loretta. Gonna start reading it when I'm done here
