Most of her newer books have some history in them.
Victory Quilts is about WWII
Underground Railroad is about the slaves and the 'underground railroad'
and others.....
Great reading and inspirational.
When I did pick up various quilting shows on TV I particularly like to see EB as guest on Simply Quilts, etc. I no longer get any of those shows. Her methods are straight forward and easy for me to follow. The only one of her books that I have is the one about the Underground Railroad. The directions are easy to follow and the pictures are right on. I've read that the story portrayed is not actually true, but that doesn't matter to me. I love the story.
