I hope it was helpful to some who may have been fearful of piecing those curves. We have had such fun learning new things from this project - both from the history side so carefully researched and presented each week by Barbara and the encouragement to make our blocks better by watching each week what everyone else has done and then taking that inspiration to our own stitching. Thank you for a wonderful 49 weeks Barbara.Dorryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494260425203151390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654842531538502580.post-45238827633311049682013-08-03T02:18:27.821-05:002013-08-03T02:18:27.821-05:00This has been a fabulous project, and I have learn...This has been a fabulous project, and I have learned so much. I am hoping there will be a book because I want to give it with the quilt to my daughter when she graduates from college. I've been telling her the stories as I go along. I suppose she could read them, after all she will graduate next spring! But somehow, I've just been telling them to her. Thank you Barbara for the gift of this quilt pattern, and all of the history.ConnieB/CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543178198309561325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654842531538502580.post-26752548353796477702013-07-27T18:35:27.740-05:002013-07-27T18:35:27.740-05:00It is a great story.

She went to all the meeting, met the people and then made her choice. She goes home to Grandpa, tells him she is going to vote for 'this party'. He informs her they vote "this way!!" She looks at him and said, I've been to the meeing and listened and this is how I am going to vote. He informs her, he is going to cancel her vote because he is voting a different way!!<br />Well, voting day comes, and they vote.<br />He asks her if she voted the way she said she would? When she told him yes, he told her, well, you were right, you went to the meeting and all that - I voted your way too!!!<br /><br />Love that story!!

It was said it wasn't fair to send men to die for their country without allowing them to participate in electing the government that declares war. But aren't we all citizens who must bear the sometimes unfortunate consequences of government at all other times as well?suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885011551892500020noreply@blogger.com
