My New Book Divided Hearts

Or should I say Our New Book as this is a group project.

A couple of years ago we stitched a Block of the Month called Antebellum Album at my Civil War Quilts blog.

The book is on its way. It's 112 pages full of  "Historical Narratives, 12 Blocks, Instruction & Inspirations."

Becky Brown, Pat Styring, Mark Lauer and Denniele Bohannon made models in their various styles. Readers went off in different directions.
I've gathered it all together in Divided Hearts. The book includes twelve histories of women whose hearts were divided by North & South sectionalism.

It also tells the story of women's education in the pre-Civil-War years and how boarding schools encouraged friendships across the Mason-Dixon line.
