You could write a historical novel, the way you have a gift for painting a picture with words. I love how your block turned out.<br />You've been a lucky duck with the giveaways. I love Julie's book!<br /> Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898155445938416840.post-14800496929755211512016-07-10T10:09:03.649-04:002016-07-10T10:09:03.649-04:00I love your blocks - I haven't made the last o...I love your blocks - I haven't made the last one yet as my sewing time is very limited. We talked about wagon trains recently, since our trip from Florida to Oregon took 7 long days of driving and although the scenery was wonderful, it was tiring to travel. Can't imagine the trip in a wagon. I've read a lot of books about the trip in wagons and find it fascinating, but don't think I would want to do it. Hee Hee! You received some lovely items in the mail. The barn book looks interesting. I love barns too, but that is another quilt I have never made - not even one block. Maybe one day! BTW, our weather has been amazing this past week - cool and sunny with some rain sprinkled in. I hope it continues. My DIL has been amazed and Abby is thrilled to see deer just about every day right in our neighborhood!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898155445938416840.post-79583684491059412662016-07-10T10:01:24.236-04:002016-07-10T10:01:24.236-04:00I like your hill and hollow block.

One of these days I'm going to get back to my Pony Express quilt, on the back burner for quite a while now.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835208971743967582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898155445938416840.post-63930156182746657702016-07-10T09:38:41.125-04:002016-07-10T09:38:41.125-04:00You are SO welcome and I'm glad BUILD A BARN i...You are SO welcome and I'm glad BUILD A BARN is already inspiring you to sift through your photos and fabrics.

As they crossed the Oregon border, she gave birth on the trail and kept on going to where they built a house, tamed the land and made a home. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could not be that woman!!! If Indians or starvation - not to mention giving birth in a wagon after months of travel - didn't kill me, living in that wagon with a man and six kids for those same months would have LOL!!!
