New Release! Barbara Brackman’s Civil War Sampler and a giveaway!

Barbara Brackman is a well-known Civil War quilt  lover and  and expert on all they entail. Her latest release, Barbara Brackman’s Civil War Sampler, features 50 quilt blocks with full instructions for assembly and stories from their history. If you’re a fan of her blog, Civil War Quilts, and you wish you had all of the 2011 blocks of the week in one place, beautifully presented, and ready to inspire, then you’re in luck! This book was inspired by that blog series!

Choose from a variety of pieced or appliquéd blocks, each shown in 2 colorways (all Civil War reproduction fabrics but done in the “brighter” and the more “muted” styles) with instructions for either 8″ or 12″ finished blocks.
